Hi all-
I am having an issue that I hope someone can possibly give me some good info on.
I had the Steeda Stop the Hop kit installed, front camber plates, IRS Subframe Bushing Support kit, the Billet Aluminum Vertical Link with Polyurethane Bushings, Adjustable rear toe links and the Magnaride Dual Rate springs 555 8243.
Anyway, had it all installed by an ASE Tech with over 30 years experience working at Ford.
I picked up the car when it was complete and almost immediately heard a “clunking” sound from the right rear. Sounds like it’s coming from directly on the other side of the panel below the rear window right about where the shocks bolt in. It only happens over bumps and potholes, not at all while driving down a smooth road or even slightly bumpy road. If I put my hand on the inside trim panel I can’t really feel it happening but I am 99% sure this is where it is coming from.
So I dropped the car back off and picked up a few days later after I was told it was all fixed. It was raining when I picked it up and really didn’t hear anything. I thought all was OK. So over the weekend I drove my car and I had the same thing happening but it wasn’t as loud but still there for sure. The Tech told me he had re-torqued all the bolts.
So now I have to wait a week to bring it back to let him try to fix it again. My concern is he won’t be able to get it fixed. If that happens I am not going to mess around and take it to other shops, I plan on having a truck come and pick it up and drive it the 1000 miles to Steeda to let them go over it. Obviously I don’t want to do this because it’s expensive and time consuming and I don’t want to be without the car for 3-4 weeks.
Any ideas on what it could be? I am guessing maybe a bad spring mount or the spring not sitting in the pocket properly, but I don’t think it’s the first since I had zero issues until this was done.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My car is a 2023, 6 speed Mach1 without HP package.
I am open to any ideas. So please feel free to give any advice. Hopefully Steeda will see this and maybe have an idea. I am going to call them tomorrow to see what they say.
