Clunk from front suspension

[Michael Friesen]

Had this symptom back in the fall.  Two things were wrong and were fixed:
the swaybar was broken on the passenger side, and the strut mount was toast.
Does it groan when turning the wheel toward lock?  If so it's probably the
swaybar.  If not, it's likely the strut mount.  Of course, this was all on a
'94 90, so I hope it's applicable.

Later,

Mike

I have a strange noise coming from the front of my car (type $$). It
usually comes when accelerating after a stop, just a *clunk* like
something moves when the wheels start turning. If I start very gentle,
the noise won't occur, but it clunks all other times.

Driveshafts are almost new (35k miles), stabilizer & inner control arm
bushings replaces, no play in tie rod ends or ball joints that I can
find...

The set screw for the UFO rotor is in place and just fine and tight,
so it can't be the rotor moving on the hub either...

This noise is really annoying, anybody BTDT?
