    I have noticed this a couple times by now, when I brake a little harder from above 40mph to slow down and make a turn, I get this "knock" in the steering wheel.

    What would you do if you could only do one? Tubular upper control arms with better bushing and more adjustment range, a sway bar (front or rear? I know both would be best), a new steering gearbox, heavy duty tie rod linkage? Let's just say we have $400 to throw at the suspension to improve...
