I have the extension you need. Thanks to my new tool kit. I heard a lot of people say you need to tighted the endlinks if there is clunking.

I'm pretty sure it is the bushings now (need lube). The endlinks were too tight to loosen. Tightening the strut to the transverse link helped reduce noise - but still clunking when angling up/down bumps.

I'll remind you about the socket extension the next time I make it out to a meet. It may be a couple weeks.. my engine replacement was ordered today.

Glad your getting a new motor. I hope it takes car of your oil problems. Just make sure you get it broken in before Milan



Does anyone want to meet up later. Today is beautiful.
