The way we check them at work is to put the jack under the control arm (basically eliminating the pressure from the spring) and putting a long pry bar under the tire, and lifting upwards. I bet you will notice a bunch of play in them if you do it that way. I thought the same thing when I did mine (several years ago) But once I pulled them out, and held them upside down, and realized how loose they really were...I knew that I finally found my noise!</blockquote>
