alright, i just started to notice that this noise has gotten worse. it almost sounds like the sway bar in the rear doesnt have any bushings on it and the same in the front. the noise is kind of a metal on metal clicking when i go over bumps. i dont have a lift so its kind of a PITA to get under my car to check it out. what do you guys think?

ECU5.0 have you done any suspension changes recently? I did my recently and added caster camber plates and when I had the car aligned the camber plates are not fully adjusted cuz on an '89 there is not to much room for the adjustment. I have to make the whole where the strut comes through a bit bigger. I'm getting the same sound that you are describing, metal against metal. The guy who aligned the car said that once I make the holes bigger, then he car realign the car and hopefully that will cure the problem. Just my two cents. Hopefully you can figure out the problem. Good luck
