FYI I bought the same rings Chris listed on ebay for $8 shipped for all 4. Had them on for over a year and they show no signs of wear, they literally look brand new.

Tonight I jacked the car up and checked for loose bolts everything was tight, all the bushings seemed normal, I tried to shake some things and nothing budged


Here is a video I made, higher the vol as the camera does not pick it up as well(Driver window is open)its at 0:18, be warned I give it some gas after that bump.(too loud all of a sudden rage)

Not sure what this means, other then checking the bolts on top in the engine bay. All 4 are tight. And the bottom one is as well.


I think at this point, I am going to bring it to my shop to look.

It's an actual bushing up top. If it goes bad it will rattle around when you hit bumps

Oh, ok How do I check it exactly? I did not really see any bushing?

Found that thread, looks to be what I am talking about, the bushing is officially called a "mounting insulator" which is apparently just a piece of steel.

Well looks like it can be a lot of things, endlinks or what not. Time to find out!
