    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    So what can I do to narrow down the cause of my pop/clunk noise? Here are the various things that it could be (based on a lot of forum searching and replies). I'm pretty new to messing with suspension, so any help is appreciated. Ideally, I'd love to try to narrow down a few this weekend...

    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    The pop/clunk noise got noticably worse over the weekend. I looked under the car bug couldn't see any "rack brackets" or looseness anywhere. I did a little more searching on the internet and found a site for Mustang TSBs http://www.mustangforums.com/recalls-and-tsbs/tsb.htm . 0395 sounds...

    UPDATE~~~ Suspension noise

    Count me in on the dreaded suspension clunk/pop/noise. 99 Mustang GT Coupe- noise started after MRT Street Kit (Tokico struts, MRT Springs) MM CC Plates, poly spring isolators, and MM sway bar endlinks installed. I've had a similar clunk/pop noise since I got new springs/shocks/CC platest...

    Is my 90K 99GT too old for a new H pipe?

    Love the Katzkin seat covers! I had cloth seats in mine and they were looking pretty nasty. I did it myself and it wasn't difficult... just really tedious and time consuming. I think it took me about 10 hours total. There's about 80-100 hog rings that you have to cut off to get the old...

    Is my 90K 99GT too old for a new H pipe?

    Thanks again. Just ordered MRT H with cats. Can't wait. >>strange poping sound huh? poly bushings by any chance? You did put the isolators on the springs right? I've asked this in a bunch of threads over the last year or so and still haven't narrowed it down on my car. Seems a lot of...

    Is my 90K 99GT too old for a new H pipe?

    Thanks all... for the great replies! That's just what I needed. My 2nd to last modding experience didn't turn out so well... after my shock/spring/cc plate install the car now has a weird pop sound when turning right or left. After 2 shops and a few hundred $ spent on diagnosis and...

    Is my 90K 99GT too old for a new H pipe?

    I've got a 99GT with 90K miles on it. Engine runs great since I've owned it for the last 45K miles. It's a daily driver that will probably never see track time. II've kept it mostly stock except for Steeda pulleys, KB sub frame connectors, MM CC Plates, and MRT Street suspension kit. I just...

    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    Thanks for the photo. I don't think I know what to look for though. I can't tell where the wear mark is where it hangs up and binds. Stupid question... I know the arrow is pointing to the bushing... but is it pointing to the wear mark? Thanks, Jim

    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    >>you can see wear on the metal sleeve of the bushing where it hangs up and then releases Thanks so much... this sounds promising. Is this something you can see without removing the control arm? Or would I have to remove the bushing to see the wear on the sleeve? Pics would be great so I...

    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    Thanks again. I'll take a look at the ball joints. What kind of grease should I use - regular chassis grease? Do I have to take it apart or can I just put some grease on it? Wish I could reproduce the noise while underneath the car instead of only when driving... but I guess that's the...

    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    Thanks for the replies. The car is lowered with the MRT street kit. Not much though... maybe an inch in the front. Stock K member and everything else. I didn't order the bushings... this shop did and they didn't tell me they were ordering offset bushings ahead of time. Not sure if...

    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    I have a 1999 GT and I had MM CC plates with MRT Street Suspension installed last year. Ever since then, there's been a weird clunk/pop noise in the front suspension when weight shifts from side to side in the car. It alrernates turning left and right and will easily do it in tight turns over...

    How to diagnose cc plate clunk/pop?

    Thanks for the suggestions, that's what I read too. The clunk/pop noise only happens when I'm driving and I can't make it happen when I'm under the hood. So I'm having a really hard time figuring out what is actually wrong. I don't want to just take it to shop after shop and throw money at...

    How to diagnose cc plate clunk/pop?

    I have a 99 GT that's has a clunk/pop in the suspension when the weight shifts in the car or when turning over a bump at slow speeds. It started after installing MM caster plates and MRT street suspension kit. I've found a lot of threads on the topic (including my own) but I'm still not able...

    When to grease serviceable tie rod ends?

    When I had my tie rod ends replaced I had the shop put in ones with grease fittings. Now I have a bunch of questions about it. What kind of grease should I use- regular chassis grease? When should I grease them... when they look dry or is that too late? Can you over-grease them? Thanks, Jim
