When I bounce the front end it sounds like a metal on metal screaching noise pretty close to the front. Could the strut rod bushing be worn bad enough to cause the washer to rub on the kmember? Dry torsion bars? No other noticeable ill effects. It's quit possible that the entire front suspension is oem.

Thanks, I've never been a front end guy.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
