front end clunk more questions...

hi all and thanks in advance.

i did tokicko d-spec and eibach pro springs and there is A LOT of clunking on my front end. its very very annoying at this point. it makes my Stang feel cheap and a rattle box

does anyone know definitely what the issue(s) are?

i know this has been asked before on previous posts but i am not sure what the final answers are.

any experience and clarification would be great! thanks!

Tighten up your sway bar endlinks.

hi all...

so, here is what i been gathering from a lot of you and thanks in advance!

1. check front sway bar end link bolts (as max2000 mentioned on this thread)

2. steeda strut mounts

that should solve it!

anything else that can add to these clunking noises?

thanks!

Well is the nut on the end of the strut rod that holds it to the upper bearing tight and correctly torqued?

Did you install the upper bearing mount with the index key in the right direction?

With the hood up and someone pushing up and down on the car, can you feel the clunk at the upper bearing where the strut rod comes thru it?

What shock setting did you set the Spec-D's to?
