Well, hundreds later and no fix. The Steeda Heavy Duty Strut Assemblies don't fix it. In fact, I'd put ten thousand on the table and bet the noise is significantly WORSE with them on there. I think Wolfey [sp?] mentioned some other parts that are "under" the front seats and that certainly seems to be where the sound is coming from.

I'm sure many of you want to say "I told you so, you should have tightened this or that bolt or lowered it or taken off the sway bar and added the BMR delete option or done the magical mustang dance" etc. Obviously I'll have to try those things when the days are 29 hours long.

I JUST WANT THIS DAMN CAR TO RIDE LIKE A NORMAL CAR. I've had a 1983 Toyota truck,a 1994 F150 Eddie Bauer, a 1995 F250 Powerstroke, a 1999 Ranger, a 2001 Honda Insight, a 2004 Honda Civic, a 2005 F150 Supercrew FX4 and none of those cars sounded like a clunker. So why should the second most expensive car I've ever owned sound like a Caravan with blown struts when I drive down the alley?

Anyways, newsflash is that the Steeda HD Strut Mounts didn't fix the problem.. . but at least I've got HD strut mounts for when I become a famous weekend racer, right???!!!!!!
