sound happens after you do the bleeding?

Yeah the sound started a few days after I did the bleeding.

Sick of it, and not being able to see anything obvious with the car up
on a jack or wheel ramps, I went by the dealer. Oh yes, I guess I
didn't notice the sway bar just hanging there on the left side (I was
convinced it was on the right, so that's where I focused my attention).
So the coincidence is that I did the oil in the hydropneumatic system
and a few days later break (???) the sway bar connection on one wheel.
So it's all sorted now, and for $300 the dealer threw a full-car detail
on top of all new sway bar bushings, so I'd say it was money well spent.

-tom!
