My SVX is due for a new set of bushings and rubbers.

The suggestion that it may be the SWAY BAR bushing sounds valid!

I will take it to a suspension place very soon.

Cheers!
Very very easy to replace and if not replace at least check yourself. Jack the front of the car up and look at the sway bar in the front of the car on the problem side. Where it attaches to the frame you will see the rubber is probably all busting out the sides or non existent. Two bolts are all the hold it on. Not hard to replace at all. At least if you check and know its bad you can go in saying you know whats wrong and sound like you know what you are talking about. That way you don't end up with an outrageous price quote for a bunch of stuff you dont really need. Sad to say people do this but its a reality. Just a thought.
