Steeda Shock Mount Noises

[ChitownStang]

Hey Brian, hope all is well!
I kinda want to go back to oem mounts but I no longer have the nuts and washers to make it work. Steeda is looking to see if they can find some as they normally come with the proaction shock

I took mine off because they were making clunking noises when the wheel unloaded (like if backing out of a driveway/over a curb at an angle), but they were from one of the initial batches. The first set I bought (which I no longer have, but had no complains about) did not have any noises once tightened properly. I'm back on the Ford OEM mounts until the BMR SM760 is released.

Nut to thread oem mount to steeda shock shaft is different thread

If they’re causing you that much grief, absolutely go back to the stock parts. Ford should be happy to supply you replacement hardware.

Its just a nut. A lot of the time your average hardware store will have something suitable. It helps if you can bring in the shock

M10x1.0 is surprisingly uncommon. Found a flanged nut at Fastenal though.

Brian, you're always the man with a part # or an explanation. As always, Thank you!

....I just got off the phone with Steeda and they are truly the best company to deal with when you have problems as they truly do care about you as the customer! ....They are sending me a new one to replace and if this one goes out they suggested I ship the proactions and mounts back to them to check it out.....

This is why I went with Steeda, and directly through them, not a 3rd party.

Hopefully there will be no issues. But if there is I hope they stand behind everything.

My stuff is being installed Thursday. I can't wait to feel the difference with the new suspension.

This is unfortunate and sorry to hear about your troubles OP.

I'm in the camp of using these with no problems. I also run the Pro-Action adjustable shocks/struts, comp. springs,Camber plates, IRS alignment kit, IRS bushing support system,
IRS braces, Extreme G K member, Dust covers, jacking rails among many other Steeda parts. I drive it hard on the track and auto-x courses and never had a problem.

Hopefully things get a little easier for you and your build soon!
