[s-cars] Strange right fron suspension clunk... HELP...

[Mark Strangways]

yeah had the sway bar rub against the tube that holds the starter cable.
Mine only did it when the suspension was unloaded a bit then turned.
It took a mechanic under the car as we lowered it down on the hoist onto 
blocks of wood.
Fun job.
