it's rare for the upper to do that but it does happen

other cause is ball joints easy to cheak

jack up one side front wheel place on block of wood or some thign less higher then jack stand

place bord under the wheel place block of wood under the the bord you just put down step on bord see if wheel has play up and down if so ball joint is dead


this wonte show sized ball joint thou to fin that out you will have to take the ball joint off sized ones will cause some wacky noise the loose one not so muhc but you have slop in you drive line

as for bushing it usely the lower bushings not the uppers


cheers ryan

No leaks from the rear end, usually it would be leaking by now if it was the crush sleeve/bearing, My car has the LSD and its working great.

BTW Enraged, the exhaust I bought off you sounds pretty crazy on an N/A, been running it for a month now I guess. Think I might try it without the test pipe, its really raspy, lost a bit of low end torque but gained a ton of top end.
