Snapping/popping noise from front suspension when hitting large bumps
(speed bumps, etc).

When inspecting suspension, check for contact marks on sway bar from it
coming in contact with crossmember mounting stud. If contact mark is
found, grind mounting stud down aproximately a 1/4 inch to eliminate
contact.
