front sway bar link, struts - diagnosis, parts+labor

90 percent of the time thats correct, except in the case of the late 90s early 2000 wbodies. the front bar was thin and prone to rust and breaking, dorman offers a new solid one though

OK guys, I had Meineke do the link pair over a week ago and no more thunk noises or worries about cornering. Except... the car still does have the faint click-pop noises I can only hear when doing those slow 90 degree turns in parking lots, the "dangerous" binding upper bearing plates on the struts I chose not to replace. I've heard that for over a year now. Is this really dangerous?

Ooops I didn't see that post when doing my last a minute ago. I'll keep this in mind. What'* left of it...

yes, sort of a general short way of saying, lesabre/bonneville/olds 88
from wiki;
Previously the H platform designation was used for unrelated rear-wheel-drive compact cars.
Many H-bodies used GM'* large 3800 V6, and supercharged versions were available from 1991 to 1999. They originally came in both 2-door and 4-door versions, but the four-door sedans were dramatically more popular, and two-door models were dropped by 1992.
According to one source,[1] the H-Body sedans were the next "big thing" for GM, and development cost more than $3 billion, which is on par with roughly how much Ford invested in the Ford Taurus. Both the H-body sedans and the Taurus (based on the D186 platform) were launched fully in 1986.
Starting in 2000, all H-body vehicles moved to the G platform, however GM continued to call it the H platform.
