So I figured I needed to correct the camber so I don't chew up my new tires. My car also had the famous strut mount popping going on. Ford would not perform the TSB due to the after market springs being installed. I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone a pick up the Steeda upper strut mounts. I installed them last week and got my alignment perfect!BUT the popping is still there and now it is even worse than before.I have been driving it for over a week now and it is driving me NUTS! I installed them just like the directions say without any complications. Everthing is tight, I have checked and rechecked. Only thing I did not do was torque the center strut nut to 46ft. lbs. with a torque wrench due to the fact that it just spins the rod since you can't counter hold it when there is a socket on there. So I just snugged it down with a wrench while counter holding it with a 10mm.

The popping is definatly coming from both sides. I am kind of at a loss on what to do. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

 

Sorry no help here , I had Steeda install the mounts on my car and it took care of the popping. You might give them a call ...

 

tighten the center bolt some more?? check sway bar end links?

 

Check set of springs. Make sure that orientation is correct.

 

Thanks for the responses. I'm just gonna pull it in the shop and disassemble everything and see what I find. I'm wondering if my noise is coming from somewhere else (not originally the strut mounts) and when I installed the Steeda USM's it amplified the noise due to the stiffer materials used. We'll see, I just know it's annoying as hell...lol.

It's like a "wobble" noise over bumps and when turning into driveways and what not. Sounds like a worn bushing from my expereince. But everything is tight...

 

Definately check the sway bar end links and make sure they're torqued correctly. I had the popping noise on the passenger side after the installing the steeda strut mounts and it was due to the end link not being tight enough.
