I noticed that there is a clunk going over those large speed humps residential areas. I thought I'd ask before assuming that it was the upper links as my drivers side tension rod bushing is leaking oil.

Both upper links were done around 70+K. The passenger tension rod bushing seems just fine.

Once while driving over some rough surface at low speed, I heard some creaking, almost sounded as if my wheen was rubbing the fender for just a second.

Also - the acutator on this side will sometimes for lack of a better description "gasp" after being shut off - its like a quick opening/closing just for a second. I'm wondering if this may be realted to the worn bushing in the tension rod.

Would like to get a second opinion before making my next "Joe" order.

Upper links would be my first guess. Replacing mine have always fixed the squeak. The bushings are cheap, I'd do both links and both bushings at the same time. Wish I knew more about the actives.
