I hope so....while I had the drop links out, I really flushed them with silicone lube and backed off the lock nuts so I could "center" the hiem joints before locking them down. It also looked like the offending drop link hiem joint was bent slightly (the threaded part that screws into the tube), indicating that it had been binding for some time.
I was able to replicate the "clunk" by simply "yanking" on the arm of the swaybar, with no movment of the suspension.
I have yet to have a discussion with Randy about this issue.
Thanks again for your help.....

No, he was already screwed.
He's just going back to the previous condition.
No editing, Putz.

Probably working.
We all have to do that sometimes.
Besides, you can't buy MINI parts without working unless you were born into the right family.

Reservations start on Thursday, but if we get there on Wedensday, I don't see a problem. All depends on how far we get each day.

Unfortunately, I have to answer the phone, do support, sales, and installs when Brad is gone, so it's sort of hard to post.
