200tq front suspension clunk

[Erik R Addy <erik@aero.und.edu>]

Hello,

I'm getting my 200tq out of storage next friday and sunday night I'm
driving up to BIR for the Q-Club event.  There are a few things I need
to attend to before I go, including new front tie rod ends, and also a
"clunk" in the front end.  Unfortunately, I am 350 miles from the car
till friday, so I am wondering if the list could help me diagnose this.

What happens:
When driving over some (but not all) bumps, etc, in the pavement with my
window down, I could hear a clunk/rattle in the front end.  Then I
discovered an easy way to replicated it.  If I drive at medium speed in
reverse and apply the brakes, I get one solid clunk.

What it is not:
Bad strut insert or ball joint.

Any suggestioons?  I think it must be something at the top of the strut
assembly.

TIA
