THANKS for the tip!
After a frustrating night at the track with no traction I bought a pair of 15" 10 spoke after market wheels, after checking fitment with no issues I bought two cans of Plasti Dip & after wiping down the wheels with brake cleaner I sprayed on four coats, the wheels look great now to find the right Drag Radials.

I have 22K miles. No gravel roads in So. Cal. How do I find out if they are the sway bar links?

THANKS

I would just replace them with moogs and switch the bushings to polly while you are there. I'll sell you the extra set I have. They are 23mm from energy suspension. (bushings)

I replaced the sway bar links with the Moogs and also the control arm bushings...still have the clunk!! It will go away for a day or 2 but then come back. I guess next I should try the strut mounts? Also many people here are saying it is something with the steering?
