i went to dealer today and finally got all my suspension work done!

new ford upper strut mounts,
bmr a-arm
frpp front/rear sway bars
tightened up a loose adjust. panhard bar

now my car is so solid and rides so amazing!

i want to thank everyone for all their help!

 

Did they actually hear the strut noise or take your word for it? Did you take a copy of the tsb in with you?

 

hi glenn,
they heard the huge clunk.
i brought my car there before the tsb or before i can find the tsb. i guess i didnt care at this point. i just wanted it fixed

i purchased the new front upper strut mounts for $41 each and they installed it pretty much for free because they also reinstalled my tokicos struts.

the new strut mounts with the a-arm bar makes the front end feel very very solid.

i recommend definitely doing the a-arm bar BMR along with the strut mounts...

 

Do you have a part number on those strut mounts?

 

hi jonw,

i'll look for it however i know someone else just posted the TSB on this and the new part number is there..

thanks and good luck...

ps. you do not need to the $299 steeda mounts. i'm hearing these new ford mounts are better...

 

Are these the 2007 stock strut mounts or yet another update? One of mine on the 07 are doing it with only 2k on the set with the ultralites. I'm getting bilsteins soon though so I was just going to do steeda ones with the swap.

wow!! front is PERFECT..rear is noisey again....

so for the past 2 or 3 days the rear noises were gone. car was so solid.

as of last night, its back again!

man....dealer found it and tightened it but its back again???

installed new sway bars are FRPP front and rear, buddy went under there and checked it out looked like all end links/bolts are tight.

all bolts look good.....so, i guess i got to bring it back again. man frustrations!

 

what did the dealer find and tighten up??

 

dealer told me they found it noise..a loose adjust. panhard bar...they said they tightened it with loctite...

drove the car for a little bit over the span of 2 days...car was SOLID as a rock...now...the rear noises are back!

 

FIXED!!

the STEEDA adjust panhard bar hidden BOLT on the rear right side loosened up again??? i dont get why it would? go figure????

well....tightened it up.....and now....all tight and good again
