But, I have had sway bar bushing go bad in my previous 300D, and that usually results in the crunch sound from just forward of the dash firewall where they are located (sway bar to frame). The noise I am experiencing is not from the firewall area. Also, I did replace upper control arms, and at that time also put new bushings where sway bar attaches to UCA. So it can't be this...plus the noise is different.

The noise I am experiencing sounds like the wheel bearing is loose, or if all lug nuts were slightly loose. But I checked these things...not them.

Thanks,

Mark
