I hate to bump an old thread, but I'm having exactly this issue and this was the first thread I found describing what I've been experiencing (vs bad axle or something similar). I have a Scion - does anyone happen to know if this front strut mount TSB applies to my car or if there's an equivalent Toyota one, or how I would find out? I googled similar.verbiage and Scion / Toyota but didn't pull anything up. If not I might have to try replacing the sway bushings even though they looked ok to me - this pop is driving me crazy. |

Great.. I think I might be having a problem here as well along with contact between the end link and LCA. With it on jacks, I can forcibly move the sway bar side to side as well with an audible click sound that I thought was the endlink to LCA contact on the passenger side. It going to be difficult to determine whether the sound is coming from the tops. I'm no inspector gadget.

I installed these a few months ago. I wasn't experiencing any issues, but I did notice the car's response in corner transitions seems more linear (at DD/street speeds).

I installed some aftermarket low profile front endlinks (only slightly shorter than OEM at the shortest adjustment), and the the new markings indicating contact to the passenger LCA became even worse than with the OE endlinks. Only at a slightly different location about 1" away from the older markings.
I originally attributed this to the positioning on the LCA after installing the whiteline anti-dive/caster bushing, but now I'm not so sure since it seems like the LCA couldnt have shifted all that much at the rear bushing as it retains the same axis. Could it be due to the lateral movement of the sway bar while turning the steering wheel from my old bushings? Anyone with the popping/clicking sound have similar markings? Edit2: clicking sound is back. will install the perrin 19mm I have laying around with some urathane bushings. If it doesnt resolve, I'll just have to wait until I can change out the shocks.

Slight difference in steering, but... click/pop noise didn't stop, I guess it wasn't my crappy dried-out and cracked OEM sway bushings after all... I guess... CV? I haven't had CV problems before without the car being rolling, so that would be odd to me, but I'm far from an expert. |

As mentioned in earlier posts, possibly this, maybe: https://subaru.oemdtc.com/333/poppin...12-2016-subaru do you see similar markings from contact on either of the LCA?

Just wanted to say I had the same problem. Doing track days in the Louisiana sun, the bushings actually melted and looked exactly like that on side the exhaust runs through. No problems on the opposite side. I replaced with Whiteline bushings and it melted again. Replaced a second time and heat wrapped the pipe. They still melt but at a much slower rate now!
