Re: [TECH]Funny Sounds Q's

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

I get this one too. EXTREMELY frustrating. I have removed my front swaybar,
I have upper and lower stress bars, new ball joint, new tie rods, new cv
shaft. I've torqued all the front suspention components nultiple times. 
	I was thinking today that it's probably my upper strut bearing. They've
got almost .5" space between the rubber and the hat. They're about 4 years
old now. 
	CAn the upper strut bearings hurt/break anything if not serviced for long?
