Well just when I had all suspension noises fixed, it is back again.
Took a trip through the horrible roads of DC last night and then a trip to a client this morning that takes me over a shit road that's ripped up. I tried to go slow and take it easy.
Now I am hearing the clunk clunk clunk again. Right rear, again.
I suspect that the IRS parts I've installed in the rear plus the stiffer springs and shocks are wreaking havoc on the OEM parts and bushings. Meaning that the bad road conditions are destroying my suspension which is exacerbated or made possible by all the suspension stiffening components.
I've been through this 4-5 times now. I'm confident a shop can fix it but what do i do then? It's just gonna come back again isn't it?
Here I was a few days ago planning out my spring mods, but if a good solution doesn't present itself, I may be looking for a new car. I can't have this happening to me 20X. I don't have the know how to fix stuff myself and I don't have the time to get it fixed every time this shit happens.
Maybe I've dug my own grave with this suspension thing. Unfortunately not all roads are good and I have no choice but to go on some of these roads. I wanted a Mustang that would handle better but I now fear I have invited more trouble than I bargained for.
What do I do now?
