Which Control Arm/Balljoint is bad?
Starting to get a knock in the right front suspension when turning sharply under certain loads. Happens in forward or reverse about once a week. I did the inspection in the Repair Manual to look for broken rubber on the bushing end of the control arms. They all look fine. I put the front suspension under load and under no load and used pry bars to lever all the upper and lower joints in every direction I could. I also checked the tie rod ends. They are all tight. Now what?
Thanks for any info.

A similar problem (not solved yet)
I have been getting a "clunk" in the front end as well. All the control arms checked out. It is only under high load turning and will "set in". As in if I hard turn to the left, it will clunk but then will not clunk on successive left turns until turning right again. I'm guessing it has something to do with the sway bar, but things look alright. Sorry if its more of the same, Ill let you know if I solve anything.
