i have clunking in front end, and the passenger side is easier to push down then the drivers side. that is the side i get clunking, this is struts correct?
not lowered, but if it was wheel bearing why would one side be a helluva lot easier to push down then the other? and its when i go over bumps
hope its struts, gives me an excuse to get lowered! what other tests are there that i could do? is there a way i can determine between the two or is it hit or miss?
and how much would ball joint replacement be? was looking online and people are saying anywere in between about 200$-750$
awesome thanks. ill try that tomorrow when i get the time. i hope to god that its the strut and not the ball joint. was lookin it up and seems expensive to replace both control arms.
this is what i would need if its ball joint right?

yes that is right. however, if you check ebay. there's brand new control arms for less than half of that price. i put them on my msp. good so far. some people have good luck, some dont. it's fine.
as for the struts.. if I were you, i'd find some lightly used struts/springs to throw on. **** new s***.
found them on the website you mentioned slavrenz
also, was looking into it, i love a stiff ride with minimal body lean. how does this setup sound. if its my struts, i will have to upgrade to tokico blues. and later on i would get springs. how does the ion racing springs with blues sound? they seem to have the highest rate for springs without going to coilovers.
