Front end suspension noise
 
Any suggestion. I replaced strut mounts but still have a noise when hitting bumps. Sounds like sway bar but not sure. Does anybody know what would wear first, I have 87k could it be the tension bars bushing or stab links. Trying to correct problem without replacing eveything. Thanks for the help..

Check your upper and lower control arms... Seems to be a common problem. My suspension popped and cracked going over speed bumps and just simply turning into my driveway at slow speeds. My control arms were replaced at 85k and now it drives like new!

I have had the same issue. It is was the control arms. You might as well change all of them at the same time if you can afford it. I changed two of them one at a time. Now the other two need to be replaced after just a short time.
My question is there an upgrade for the bushings like on my Dodge?
