So, as a collection of the info on the infamous MSP clunk has yet to be made... I'm going to start one here.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, the rear sway bar on the MSP makes a funny noise after about 12K miles on the bushings. They wear prematurely because of a design flaw in the mount placement/bar design. This can be resolved by swapping bushings (AWR makes a urethan set that is fairly cheap) every 4 oil changes or so... or by installing the highly-recommended AXR Clunk Fix Bracket Kit.
Please feel free to add any useful info to this thread as you see fit. I'll add it to the first post.
Factoids:
Enlinks between the MSP and standard Protege are not interchangable
OEM Endlinks tend to wear out
