Well since it's a 1997 and has OBDII, he can buy/borrow a scan tool that lets you see the live data stream, the AFR is in there along with a bunch of other useful data for solving fuel issues.

Yes, I bet your strut folded in towards the body a bit. Common to see this in accidents where the wheel was hit, usually bends right where the piston rod enters the strut cartridge.

Have you tried cleaning the throttle body, a build up of carbon can and will cause surging. I think you need to keep looking for a vacuum leak though. Maybe the brake power booster diaphragm is leakin...

Most likely your engine is getting too much air which causes the ecu to dump more fuel in order to keep the AFR in check.

I suggest you take a mechanic's stethoscope and use it to listen to each accessory while running before you go replacing things. Cheap little tool that can save you hundreds down the line.

Well if you replaced the T/O bearing when you did the clutch I'd hold off for a day or 2 and see if the noise calms down. Once or twice I've had new ones that make noise and then after a few days they...
