Seems to be most noticable when I am either making left turns or going over small bumps with left tire or breaking hard. Feels like a worn bushing or something. Any ideas on what to look at? I looked at it a few times over the last few days and couldn't find anything lose.

You'll find it in a few seconds.

Thanks to trusting some random suspension shop in Tucson, AZ to install my suspension. They used the wrong bushings. I was initially inclined to just leave it, feeling that the damage had already been done, but then I was told that if the lower mounts are ruined too, I need to get new axles. Replacing the bushings and tightening everything up has helped so far, although I do have new towers and OME shocks sitting around to install as soon as I recover from my recent surgery...   Dean Chrismon (Chrismonda) Member Username: Chrismonda Post Number: 85 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 12:53 am:    Hey Danno what is the size for the panhard bolts. Just wondering. Also when you tighten will it corrupt the alignment?   James Moy (Jmoy97) New Member Username: Jmoy97 Post Number: 5 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 03:28 pm:    Pan hard rod bushings it is! Getting polys put in. Thanks!   Michael Huggins (Mike_h) New Member Username: Mike_h Post Number: 8 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 05:01 pm:    Did you get new brakes? Either way spray anti squell stuff on them and that will keep your pads from moving around and making that sound.
