The craziest thing is the boots are removable... They are held on with a twisted piece of wire, and even have a groove the slip over that the wire squeezes like a c-clip-- Somebody shoulda told this guy--

Man, I hate to tell you something you already know- but old struts squeak too, -- so it may not be the bushings making the noise at all-- As far as the clunking-- rattling-- Replace your front sway bushings and check the sway end-links-- One of my swaybar endlinks is shot and rattles...

It would be interesting to find out from you which bushing was worse-- Were the ones in the rear steel subframe drier than the ones in the aluminum front subframe?? I had to spread the ears of the steel frame a bit to get the bushings to even fit-- It also seems to me that they fit really...

Another great idea-- it's just keeping dust out-- so that should work just fine-- There are other flexible glues as well that are very strong yet flexible-- A little experimentation would yield good results-- but there are always the replacement boots too-- and they're only $20

I had to do the same thing, but cut the bolt with a 6" cutting wheel, got new sleeves from TMengineering, and a new cam bolt from a supra mk4-- The clunking may have been there before, but just wasn't as loud as the other noises caused by bad bushings-- Check your swaybar bushings and end...

you can get replacement boots from energy suspension-- they are more or less just a dust boot -- and you just need to pack grease around them before you put the new boots on them-- the boots don't have to seal when you put them on either-- once the balljoint is tightened to the spindle it will...

stiff balljoints = good --- the tighter the better-- a new one is almost impossible to move by hand--
