hard knock on right side
I was having the same problem, and I eventually ended up replacing the entire suspension/steering system. The first run, I replaced the struts, spring seats, shock mounts, and swaybar endlinks. This solved the problem for a while, but then it came back. The second run, I replaced the inner/outer tie rods, control arms, and heavy duty swaybar endlinks. Since the second run, I haven't had the "knock" come back. I also replaced the right spring seat a total of three times, thinking it was the weak link.
In a nutshell, I would say that the problem is either the control arms or the swaybar endlinks. I would suggest the iPd heavy duty swaybar endlinks - they're relatively cheap and ridiculously easy to replace. If that doesn't fix it, I would try replacing the control arms. Not a simple job, but not too difficult. The bushings on my blown control arms were completely destroyed - basically non-existent.
Best of luck with the repairs!

So our son's S70 is making a clunking sound on the right side. Is there a swaybar end link on both sides or just the right side? Never mind got a chance to look at the car.
