hey guys,

i got this strange clunk coming from the passenger right tire area when i let out the clutch fairly fast (not slipping it a lot) and the car gets into motion (thats 90% of the time when it happens anyway). i think it could have something to do with my swaybar, because i put suspension techniques ones in the front and back a month ago and the noise didnt happen before that.

it also clunks sometimes when going over bumps at more then 5mph or so, and if i go in forward or reverse from a stop fairly quickly.

any ideas what to check for?

tnxMax

On my 95, the front outer bushing is gone. You might want to have a friend watch your car as you have the E brake on and partially engage the clutch in 1st and reverse to see what moves when there is a load.
