The aftermarkey Moog camber bolts (lower control arm to frame bolt) will do this as they are fractions of an inch too small in diameter. Thats what happened on mine. You will needbto get some junkyard or dealership ones. I also have a set. Calisonic@gmail.com
Is this something I can drive on with out risking the car?
Replace the (2) stabilizer bars on the front end. When they wear out they "clunk" very loudly. Mostly noticeable going over bumps/pot holes and inclines. It's a fairly easy job, parts are not too expensive. Should cost you around 80 to 125 parts and labor.
