A while back I emailed the SHOcommunity about a noise coming from my front suspension suspension--a metallic clunk or crack that occurred during hard braking while turning right. Someone e-mailed a solution (diagram) which discussed the fact that the welds of the liner that surrounds the front tension strut bushings that go through the front of the frame sometime come fail and allow that area to rotate. This can cause a metallic-sounding snap which is felt in the steering wheel and brake pedal.
 
Anyway, that old e-mail was automatically deleted (thanks, AOL!). If the person who sent it to me originally sees this message, could you please resend it? I'm taking it to a shop on Thursday, and a picture would be very helpful. Or if anyone else knows what the heck I am talking about and has a diagram, send it my way.
 
I don't want to be on the track with this noise!
