Ahh.. backed out of the garage this afternoon for a cruise and heard a horrible "thunk" when I applied the breaks.
Jacked up the front end and popped off the wheels for a better look.
I found that one of the stabilizer bolts was loose on the front passenger side but a closer look showed a "gap" between the dampening ring and the outer ring retainer (above the top of the shock absorber) and that the shock tower itself had come loose from the front crossmember.
The drivers side shock tower (shock holdy thingy) is very obviously "spot" welded to the front crossmember while this weld has completly let go on the other side.
You don't really notice that the weld is gone until you take the weight off the front end and the gap appears.
I figure I will just get this welded back into place but thought that maybe someone else has had this happen?
And it was such a beautiful day for a drive too...
