metal noise Noise is coming from front passenger side, only when I hit bumps. Sounds like metal on metal. Shocks are less than 1 year old, new sway bar and bushings installed in December. I can't recreate the noise while the car is sitting still, I bounced the car up and down as much as possible and nothing. Any idea's.

old, I don't know what to look for on them. The boots are still intact, they are the original ones. I looked under today and couldn't find anything. Aargh

I sprayed all the bushings with lithium grease and the noise is still there. It sounds like a coin in a can. I can bounce the hell out of the car sitting still and nothing. So, I'm assuming it's not a up and down movement. What else could it be? I'm tempted to take the shock off and see if it's coming from the top where the bolt sets on the strut mount.

Front end is rebuilt. Found noise, when I replaced the swaybars one of the old washers on the swaybar bushing fell into my lower control arm. Oh well, it needed to be rebuilt anyway.
