After trying out the drag strip with Hoosier street slicks my 2012 developed a little clunk at low speeds. sometimes at high speeds also just caused by small sharp bumps. when I pulled apart the rear suspension the upper link jam nuts were loose. the bushing was in good shape but I decided to swap with the new Steeda stiffer one.
I read a lot about the red poly binding up hoping this new super hard plastic / elastomer fixes that.
hard part? clearances on the garage floor. bolting it all back up evenly and using extensions everywhere. that big bolt under the back seat is like 200+ ft/lbs torque. needed a 3 foot extension for the rear axle bolt and that helped a lot.
looks like Steeda re-designed the jam nuts to eliminate this issue now. I coated mine with red Loctite and torqued them as much as possible w/o a vice. What did you make of it when you swapped it out?
