I just had this replaced today... I will be more then happy to explain this as best I can hoping you still check this.

My front right sway bar bushing was bad making a weird noise only on rough roads, bumps or even if I push the car down on that side.

It sounded like rattle mixed with a clunking noise on rough roads. Example...drive through a parking lot that has rough surfaces sewers drains...stuff like that. Depending which bushing is bad the sound will come to that direction.... A sway bar bushing is part of the suspension incase you were wondering.

So it sounds like a mix of rattling and clunk. Not expensive to replace, was $72 but since he saw I had cash, he only charged me $60. Then again, I have a awesome mechanic.

Hope this helps.
