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...

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.

EMBARRASSING! rear noises/little rattles are BACK!!!

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!
