It dawned on me late last night that this was the intent behind your suggestion.
Well, with the silicone lube I used last night I do believe I've confirmed that crunching sound is the torsion bar bushings. So that ended up giving the desired result anyway. I'll order a pair this week.
Anyone have thoughts on replacing the driver's side piece by accessing the bracket bolt through the wheel well? It looks like it should work, I was surprised I hadn't seen it mentioned in my searching.

Yikes, I'd think the shop would have noticed that as soon as they pulled the car off their lift! Fortunately not a concern on mine, at least for now. The 'chik-chik' noise is strictly when on and off the throttle or during transmission shifting, and definitely in the rear of the car. I do need to double check my brakes are all still snug for my front rattle. It sounds like it's at the firewall but I do feel it when braking. Since it became a concern, I drove my other car today and will check into it this evening.
