Thanks guys. I will replace the end links then if the problem remains check the CABs. They look good though. Yes I have a nice thin 16 mm bike wrench that will work well.

Sway bar end link replacement complete and successful. Was a touch harder than I thought because I had some trouble getting the torque wrench situated properly. However, got all the bolts torqued to 48 lbs. What was interesting was that I thought that the clunking sound was coming from the driver's side front wheel compartment. However, the passenger side end link was completely shot. The driver's side end link was on it's way out but still had some life in it. Well, took her out for a spirited drive and all was right in Penelope's world.

Excellent.
Nice diagnosis and good work!

Oh and for informational purposes, the Lemforder end links require a 5/8 socket for the bolt and an 18 mm flat wrench to keep it from spinning. The end links that were replaced required a 5/8 socket and a 16 mm flat wrench.

I bought the front end sway links that were too big for my car....I have them for sale as they've never been used. I've emailed KW about getting me the shorter ones but I wonder if anywhere has them?

Which ones did you buy. How could they be too long?

Typically.....coilovers take shorter end links.
