Driveline shunt?
Pulled my car out of storage a couple of weeks ago, and of course the lovely weather we were having conspired to keep my driving to a minimum. But in the few miles I've put on, I've noticed some driveline shunt. At first I though it might be the engine breaking, and lack of seat time as I picked the car up using the red key. But sure enough switching to the black key and driving it to work one day and shifting, acceleration and deceleration are all, well, clunky. I've started to worry if my car was assembled correctly, as I had the LCA clunk issue, plus my right side fender and shock tower bolts were all loose when initially deliver to dealer. Love my car, but wondering if there may be some loose inaccessible parts. Certainly costs into my confidence heading into track season. Anyone else noticing some shunt?

It was 3m vinyl. I also tried a thinner partial stripe, which i will shoot. Think I'm going to return to the thicker stripe when i take it in for paint and Boss 303s grill install later this month.

Not sure if you've seen it but here's my Boss with a white Cobra Jet grille.

Check the bushing in the mount on top of the axle pumpkin. They will loosen up/fail when driven extremely hard. Usually very noticeable clunk when getting on and off the throttle at any speed.

If you're tracking the car hard, you may want to switch to spherical rod end on the control arm and a spherical bearing that eliminates the bushing altogether where it connects to the diff. Here's what I have on mine:

I got the UCA and bearing from Steeda. All the rest of the suspension is FRPP from the 302S program. They couldn't use an adjustable UCA on the 302S due to some classing restrictions, so they sourced a modified stock one from Multimatic. Since I'm not running in Grand Am there was no reason for me to spend more money and not have adustability ![Big Grin](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Keep in mind that if you go this route you will increase NVH if that's a concern.

How bad will the NVH increase? Is this mainly due to the rear seat delete.
