New Stuff Installed and 2k Rattle Information

[CAL Captain]

So... had the Steeda Ultra-Light Jacking Rails, the front K-Brace, the IRS Braces, and the clutch spring and perch installed today. Dark out here now so I'll run it around tomorrow.

Honestly, I don't notice a dimes worth of difference in the clutch feel or engagement point. And if I don't notice it now, not sure I'll notice it in a week or 2.

I live near the mechanic so he drove the car home and then I drove him back to his shop. I set up the "2K rattle" for him and he said, "Oh yeah, that's differential noise" and then explained himself which I instantly forgot. He said he hears it all the time and that it's not a problem. This is not a Ford dealer mechanic, it's a local performance shop.

Just FWIW. I take no position right or wrong.

How does the suspension feel now with the new goodies?.. Notice any changes there?

Eh... maybe a slight difference. I’m not sure what I expected, actually. I guess I thought the difference would be more noticeable.

Since I hear the sound coming from the front of the car, I think that observation might be about some other noise.

When I hear it, it’s usually because I’m driving next to a wall or something that reflects the sound back. I cannot really tell whether it’s coming from the front or the back.

I was just passing on his comment.
