    Clunking after lowering...?

    The top (or end) of the shock/strut is what I believe he means. Tighten the nut below the protective cap. I was able to tighten the front strut with a socket but the back one needs to be tightened with a 17mm and 8mm (not sure on the 8mm) wrench. Once it is tight enough you may be able to put a...

    Clunking after lowering...?

    'stupid meter' is going up for me!!! I recently found I was tightening the top nut (rear shock) with a socket. Went to Mustang Monthly online and they show an install of lower springs, shocks, and struts. On the rear shock he was using a 17mm and a 8mm (I believe) to tighten the nut down. The...

    Clunking after lowering...?

    There is a plate atop the strut. That is what he replaced. I talked to Tokico and they mentioned on their project car the vertical stabilizer bar that mounts to the front strut came loose twice so they used lock tight to stop the nut from backing out. They also mentioned going through and...

    Clunking after lowering...?

    I don't think they bottom out. The bumps that cause the noise are small but harsh hits that cause the clunking noise. When I'm at speed you don't hear anything. Also, did it take a week or two for the noise to show up? That is when I noticed it.

    Struts and shocks, input please,,,

    I put H&R racing springs and D-specs on about 3 weeks ago (first time ever doing this type of project). It is pretty easy and I went back and forth on getting the HP's vs. the D-spec. I'm glad I went with the D-specs, the tuning of the shock/strut is easy and you can retune all sides within 5...

    Anyone else gotten the 'thumbs up?'

    Here in Portland I would be lucky to get another mustang owner to even notice me. I could say the same thing for GT owners here. For the hundreds of s197 I've passed only one waved to me. I do have F-150 drivers check my car out and some gas attendents were checking out my car but that is about...
