For searching for the cause of the ruttling on my 1.6 I visited some mechanics now.
One said that should come from the strut mounts, another said the left inner tie rod end is faulty.
Today another said the LCA bushings are worn (hmm, don´t think so

So I checked all my other neons and yes, that bearing on the 1.6 is really loose if I jiggle the steering wheel (like you do on the tyre when checking the wheelbearing).
I wonder if that might happen when a neon crashes or after lot´s of miles ?
Here the results of my little testing:
2000 LE 150.000 km, no acc., bearing tight like 100%
2000 LE 67.000 km, heavy front crash, bearing loose 60%
2000 LE 125.000 km, heavy front crash, bearing loose 60%
2000 LX 200.000 km, no acc., loose 75%
2001 R/T 90.000 miles, light front crash, tight 95%
2002 1.6 129.000 km, light front crash, loose 35%
2004 SXT 42.000 miles, middle front crash, 95% tight
2004 SRT, 90.000 miles, no acc (hopefully
