I just realized I either reused my old ones if I needed them or didn't use them at all. Since I didn't do the install, I really don't know!

I am getting a *pop* from the front when I turn the wheel while one side of the car under load. Note this pop is not related to the TSB for early S197 Mustangs. This *pop* didn't start until after the coil overs were installed.

Anyone reading this who has or is considering lowering their car, I also did order lower control arm relocation brackets and adjustable lower arms in order to correct the rear geometry of the car. All this to get rid of the binding I was getting after lowering.

So if you've lowered your car and are getting pops or clunks in the rear, it's possibly control arm binding. Especially if you get it when the rear axle flexes one side more over the other. Just adding an adjustable Panhard bar isn't the solution. That just allows you to center the car over the axle again. There's more to it.
