I believe I used Mevotech Supreme for the tension struts, lower control arms, and upper wishbones. I usually prefer Lemforder suspension and steering parts but they weren't available at the time from RockAuto.


The tension struts look OK to me. No play in the ball joint, nor excess movement in the big bushing at the front. The sound is a definite rattle when going over stutter bumps. In my experience when the tension strut bushing gets soft the vehicle will wander and feel loose, and sometimes clunk when braking. None of this is happening in my case - handling is tight.


May be a few days, but I'll post results from another round of microphone tests.
