I checked sway bar end links on both sides, went so far as to remove one endlink and drive around that way. No change. I replaced the driver side strut top hat today. No change.

This is the first time I've seen someone suggest the sway bar itself needs to be lubed - I can't rule that out since I never disconnected both end links, the bar still would have been moving around. Going to try that next.

Simulating turning by putting a low profile jack under the tire doesn't result in the clicking. I think it requires suspension movement with different loads on each side along with steering turns.

I'll update after lubing up the sway bar mounts.
Hey mate,
Sorry to revive
Did you manage to fix it?
