The noise would be coming from the sway bar bushings or the stabilizer (sway
bar) links. If you can just drive the vehicle on a smooth road and sway the
vehicle from left to right and hear a thunk noise you can believe the sway
bar bushings are worn. If the noise sounds like something is getting ready
to fall off especially when hitting a small pot hole or such you have worn
out links.

The window regulator assembly is bad and lubing it wont fix the problem

Hello Glenn,
Thanks for the quick response. I will try the process you describe and
see what I find out. Assuming that it is either the bushings or the
links, how easy are these to repair?
How easy is it to replace a regulator?
Cheers,
Jim.

try a more accurate way of isolating front sway bar bushing and link noise
with some one pushing the vehicle up and down place your hand on the sway bar link
if it is bad you can feel the clunk it makes and if you place your hand on the
sway bar farther in on the sway bar while it's getting pushed up and down and you
can feel it thru the bar then the bushing's has enlarged allowing the bar to slap
within the bushing also check the outer tierods for excessive play as well as the
ballljoints

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. I will try the process you describe and
see if I can find out what is wrong. How easy is it to replace either
the bushings or links? Are there any special tools required? How easy
would it be to replace the regulator in the window?
Cheers,
Jim.

I have never had to replace the bushings on the ground so I couldnt answer
that, it cant be to hard. The links can be replaced with a floor jack and
a jack stand. As far as the regulator goes, not hard at all assuming you
are mechanically inclined.

Hi,
Thanks for response. How easy is it to replace the bushings or links?
Are there any special tools required? What about the regulator?
Cheers,
Jim.
