Got a question for everybody. I know this may sound stupid, but I just wanna be sure about something. The bolt that connects the front end link to the control arm is supposed to be completely tight right? The reason I ask is that my left side one isn't. I had my car into the dealership to get the clutch and flywheel replaced under warranty about 500 miles ago. When I got the car back, I noticed a slight clunking sound in the left front suspension when going over rough surfaces. I thought it had to do with my STi Ver. 7 struts and springs and that they were going bad or were just noisy. Either way, it didn't happen all the time and I decided to let it go until it got worse. Well, last night a buddy of mine suggested that maybe it had to do with my control arm. So today, while washing my car, I took a look. Low and behold the bolt holding the end link to the control arm was loose. The nut on the end was threaded out about half an inch. I tried to tighten it, but it just spun. I think I need to get on the other side of it, so I need to get it up on a lift. By the way, I have never messed with my front end links, control arms, or sway bar. I think Subaru focked me.
Please help me out here guys. Thanks.
