PLEASE HELP, clacking sound from front struts
Hi, I am in need of some pro advise. I have a 2000 s80 t6 and have replaced pretty much everything along the front struts and now the clacking noise is yet louder. Its when its driven and I can see where its coming from. Looking at the top of the strut mounts in the engine bay there is a little less then half an inch gap. The top pillar has that much room to move up and down and when driving makes the loud clacking sound. What do I do about this, car sounds like a pile. Any help or suggestions would be great, Thank you.

Since you showed me the condition of the bushings on saturday i THINK i can hear s light noise coming from the front right when going over bumps, I guess its just that the control arm bushing needs replacing...
Il get that and the upper engine mount bushing filled/changed as soon as I can

all good on the other bushings, i can actually bounce the car a little and see the strut top move at least a half in up and make a little clank so im pretty sure thats the prob. but im not sure if there could b something missing there or not being that the car was purchased used and has always made this noise. Ihave it set up like this http://www.tascavolvoparts.com/?&s_k...=volvo%20parts|941502086but on the engine side there is a round nut with 4 sides pritruting out that sits upside down, then a 2.5 inch wide washer with rubber on it (sorry, the best i can explain it), then the strut nut. the washer like peice sits up high due to the round not acting like a spacer. Is this normal???
