Never saw that type of stabilizer link on a 95. Never the less when do you hear noise and what does it sound like? Be as desciptive as you can. Where does noise seem loudest from?

guess i have an oddball then, but ihve had it on a lift, thats what i got, i hear it going over small and large imperfections in the road, and i hear it sitting at a stop while turning the wheel left and right, its like a metal on metal clunk, and while going around soft leftward bounds at highway speeds, i hear s consistant clunk clunk clunk clunk, like something is wabbling in the front, the sound existed prior to the new bearings and balljoints, and now i have new bearings and balljoints (moog) and i still hear it.

things to check: steering gear mounting bolts to frame. lower control arm bushings especially front ones. sub frame mounts and bolts. Any repairs prior to noise? With car on lift using rubber mallet can you strike tire and duplicate noise?

do you have an idea of what these parts cost or where i might find them because mycar has that rattle in the front end but it has not caused any play in it. I will obviouslyhave to get it fixed but it is more of an annoyance at this point than anything else because the steering is still very tight.

My car has this same rattle but it is more of an annoyance at this point because it doesnt seem to be affecting the handling because the steering is still tight. Do you know how much these parts might cost or where i may be able to find them because i can get some help getting them put on.
