Well, I've driven it about 200 miles, and the clunking has gotten noticeably worse. I can notice it on slightly bumpy roads. It feel like something is loose in the area just below my left foot (since I have a 4eat I rest my foot on the floorboard where the clutch would be). The sound is pretty much constant when I feel the "looseness."
I got the stiffer mounts, and gave installation a shot. Sheesh, those things are pain to install. I ended up only installing the easy one (where the bolt holds it in on the muffler mount). I then repeated the test of installing clothing around the exhaust to see if I could get the clunk. With the one exhaust mount and clothing around the downpipe/midpipe, I heard it this time.
I talked to Cobb, and they suggested (from a few days old memory here so it might be off a little) the bolts that connect the control arms to the frame may have been incorrectly tightened.
My thinking is this: A) I don't really know what I'm doing or necessarily have the strength/tools to pull it off and B) my understanding is that an antilift kit requires removing part of the frame, (and I still need an alignment), I might as well get an anti-lift kit installed.
Is that accurate, and does that make sense? Is there any other help anyone can offer? (Since the trouble seems to be getting worse, I'm to the point where I feel like if I keep driving it as-is, something is going to fall off)
