Why rain ?
I can understand snow, salt and winter grime but rain ?
The only time I didn’t drive mine in the rain is when I just washed the car and I didn’t want to get it dirty but if it’s already a little dirty I’ll drive her in the rain. YMMV
I realize your not the only one that feels this way, I just don’t understand why ?

Hey guys, so yesterday I finally swapped out the factory shocks and struts for the Ford Track set. Had a shop do it and on the drive home it was awesome.
However, as of late last night and this morning I'm hearing a lot of squeaking from the front of the car whenever I turn the wheel. I'm not too mechanically inclined, however from what I've read online this may be an issue with the strut mounts under the hood being a bit loose? Is this something easy I could handle, or something that would get fixed upon getting the alignment I need now? Any thoughts? Thanks guys!

I'm one who also tries to keep mine out of the rain - although living in Houston it is hard to do since it rains here a lot. I've had the car since August and its only seen rain 4-5 times and that was because I already had it out and showers popped up.
Mainly it is because I keep it clean and waxed up. No other real reason for me on that. Its not my DD and I am borderline obsessive about keeping it clean lol

If you have an impact gun you could try popping to hood and giving the bolts two or three cycles of the impact gun.

Yeah, when I get home from work I'm going to try tightening them all up and see if that's the issue. Does that sound to you like something that would be the cause of the squeaking sound?

TruFiber has a location here in Houston so I will be making a stop by their place soon. Being that I have a Metallic colored car I'm going to be doing a lot of carbon fiber stuff to mine. They have a "sponsor" car that came out to Cars & Coffee a few months ago and it was gorgeous.

Yeah sounds like it could be, also may want to check and see if the springs are seated within the bottom rubber isolator.

Be careful not to over torque, as those studs can snap. If you don't have a torque wrench take it back to the shop and have them check the torque.

Yeah just to clarify, I was referring to that center top strut nut. I wouldn't use a impact gun on those other three though.Be careful not to over torque, as those studs can snap. If you don't have a torque wrench take it back to the shop and have them check the torque.
