At 1:13 it looks like they don't work at all. I thought you wrecked the first time I saw it. They may be fine but, it looks like from the video that they are trying to bounce you out of the car.

so all of you that have lowered cars have feather rides, no hard hitting sounds when you hit some nasty roads, because ALL my stangs that have been lowered almost sound like a CRASH when i hit potholes.., 1:13 big roots from tree that are making big bumps down the street. Man i need to no yalls secret.. lol. Maybe its my phone camara that amplified the sound.., But my car is FAR from being a comfi solid ride..!

If I had to guess I'd say....sounds like really bad struts combined with destroyed mounts, to go along with the possible ball joint squeak. You gotta find a local fox guy who can come over and check everything out, or at least a competent mechanic.

**** starts bending when the whole car clunks like that.
