[urq] Clunk on Backing Out

[Ingo Rautenberg]

A few other things that I've had happen to me:

Disintegrated front sway bar rubber bushing.

Improperly attached strut to ball joint (not seated properly.  Really  
need to use a pry bar on a-arm and slightly lift the strut housing to  
match the notch for the  bolt to properly seat/position before  
tightening (not the split -- that's  a non-no).  Also, only use the  
same hardened bolt and warped locknut.  And iirc, you're only  
supposed to put the bolt in one way -- head towards front of car?
