I second this. Bilsteins are a must, and there you should get the "heavy duty" kind, not the "comfort"...I put them in my 85 123, there were KY in there (whatever the cheap white ones are called), the difference was incredible. So tight and great handling now. I recently put Billstein heavy duty in my wagon in the front, and it also made a nice difference. As John Allen says: the Billsteins act like a helping hand from underneath, making the car feel lighter and more precise at the same time. you can get them for around $80 a pop at www.*************** or at Rusty's. It's quite easy to do them.
But that noise of yours, I don't think it's the shocks.
