I've been doing some searching about the strut rod bushing causing the car to pull during braking. would this bushing make any klunking noise.

when i bought my car i thought the brakes were bad. ended up being the srb's, pulling when brakeing and such. No cluncking though. You got some front susp. prob's.

Yeah. The strut rod bushings are pretty much shot in my friends 97... rest of the front suspension looks good. It clunks. A lot.

I had an awful clunk from the srb's on my SHO. I never fixed it though. Sometimes the cups the bushings sit in on the frame can become loose and either requires a new kit (moog has a "problem solver" for this), or requires welding of the cups at the frame.

Hey guys, is there a tutorial mainly the front , somewhere? I'm not really familiar with suspension. I wouldn't know what is what.
