Ok Brain Trust... got an issue.
Setup: 2013 Boss LS with Koni struts, Steeda HD CC Plates, Steeda Boss Springs
Issue: When driving over potholes or speed bumps (unless I go very slow) I hear a "clank" and can feel it through the gas pedal.
Diagnostics: I have check all bolts that are touched by a spring change and have torqued them to at least Ford spec. This includes Strut to spindle, Top Strut Nut (the PITA nut), End Link (top and bottom), 4 Strut Mount nuts.
The noise will get progressively worse while driving after I torque everything. If I disconnect one end link (i.e. the link to strut bolt on the passenger side) the noise goes away.
Adjusting caster and camber don't seem to have an affect on the noise.
When I mount the Steeda HD CC Plate on the strut with the Boss spring there is a gap between the top and lower halves of the CC plate. Once the strut is in the car and the weight of the car is on it the gap disappears.
I just received new strut to spindle bolts/nuts and will replace this this weekend.
Thoughts?
