Man sounds AMAZING!!! LOUD AS CRAP, BUT AMAZING!!!

I got my window motor cleaned by R1 today.. It was flaking out on me.. Works perfectly again, saved me 500 bucks from buying a new one at the dealership (no more warranty)

looks like front driver side where the strut mounts to the lower control arm.

I took some pics to have more knowledgeable people tell me if its torn or not.

I was going to get some whiteline poly bushings as I've heard good things. I think solid bushings are probably a bit too harsh for a DD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Jake you son of a biotch LOL.....I deserved the call-out though. Damn that hurts hahaha.

Regardless (see how I quickly change the topic there), I still need to troubleshoot the rear clunking. I just don't have full confidence in them when cornering and such. I also think the stiffness will need to be taken up a notch.
