Hey Mike,
Sounds like you have the same issue I do. My car has done it since the day I bought it. Seems to be the most pronounced when I turn the wheel had as I am backing up. I have also noticed it on hard transitions on the track. I have no clue what it is. I have replaced EVERYTHING in the front suspension. Nothing is loose. I would be very curious to find out what it is. It is a bit frustrating, not to mention annoying. I must say, the sway bar seems like the most probable culprit at this point. I wonder how hard it would be to upgrade to a later style without replacing the a-arms and sub-frame. It sure would be nice to not have to wedge it in and out of those bushings every time I want to dis-connect it. It is even harder with the nice new stiff bushings. I have been looking into getting one from a B4 90 where the links attach to the stuts (like an E30 M3). This type of setup would also allow it to be adjustable. There would be some welding required to attach the
upper link mounts to the struts though. I just need to get a set-up out to Hawaii for a decent price. Know of anyone parting a B4 in your area?
Eric
