thanks for the replies.
the front end is almost all replaced. spent some money on it. owned the car since 1979 so it was worth it to me.
still after all that, i do get one or two strange "clanks" that seem to come from the right front wheel area, particulary with the brake pedal applied in a right hand turn.
same kind of sound sometimes coming to a stop, as the front end comes up when the stop is complete.
all very annoying after changing out inner and outer tie rods, idler arm, ball joints, almost everything up front with the exception of the drag link. and there does seem to be some play where the inner tie rod connects to the drag link. maybe the drag link hole is worn out? that's never been changed since i bought the car in 1979.
how would i know if the calipers are not releasing properly?
