I hadn't even thought of endlinks as a possibility, mine is knocking on the passenger side, typically when the car is rolling side to side over speed bumps.

I'm sorry, I'm still confused how FE1, and FE3 guys are upgrading to "MOOG FE5" end links when they're almost a full 2" shorter than the FE1/3. Moog variants.

Pittbull I think that folks who run the shorter drop links on fe1/3 cars risk interference with the steel control arm.
