Ok,
Husband, boyfriend , landlord, or one of the neighbors kids.......
Roll down the drivers window and close the door. Have the assistant grab the top of the door frame and rock the car left to right.
Now, reach around the wheel and grab onto the sway bar link. any noticeable play, or "KNOCKING" will be painfully obvious.
with the car sitting still, you cannot duplicate the noise, and with the car jacked up, the weight is on the sway bar bushings, and you cant duplicate the noise.
Bearings Typically dont Knock, they groan and grind, which will get more intense as you go faster. Also....
Lift the hood, and reach into the strut tops, as your assistant continues to rock right to left. Excessive up and down movement of the strut shaft is reason enough to change the mounts.
