1978 300SD sway bar bushing location ??
Hello,
I'm getting a clunking noise in the front end when I go over bumps. I poked around underneath and couldn't find any play or wear anywhere, so I took it to a local shop. The mech said I've got a bad sway bar bushing, and it's "impossible" to get at. He also said it's not worth fixing since it's not dangerous as is. Is he right? Anyone else have a similar problem with this bushing? I'm considering going to another shop for a second opinion, since this could be a safety issue.
Thanks!
