Put me down as a firm "maybe"......

 

Ruh Roh! Better get the liver cleaned up for this one.....

 

Make sure to stop by Rusty Rudder.... and don't jaywalk in the intersections - if you value you're life that is...

 

This thread is great! Looks like the trip was a runaway success. I really need to get in on the next one! I have been getting statistics beat in my head all day and this was great!

 

Bart:

Make the next one. I bet we get more people next year. It was a great time with a great group of people.

Mike- I'll be coming back through louisville again Friday evening. My crew will probably be wanting to get home ASAP, though. On the plus side, I am having dinner and maybe a couple drinks with Roche tomorrow! RL meetings 4 life, yo!!

 

Bart:

Whenever you get the chance to stop here let me know and we will get together for dinner.

Mike

 

So, Papa Smurf, were you the mastermind behind the FisterD tribute?

 

I must admit it was me. All in good fun sir and meant to be a tribute to your fine products of which I have all.

Mike

 

 

See what you started Moffat. I really appreciate it. You need to attend next year. I owe you a beer and soooooo much more.

Mike

Don't you have a plane to fly or something? BTW the Colgan Bra is done and waiting when you get back. Thanks again for letting me use it it really protected the front end.

Mike

 

That was a good ride! It is intoxicating driving the car on those twisties. I just gotta find that squeak.

 

Hummel,
I gave this some more thought. I think the front 'knock' may be that which we spoke of (metal/metal), and for the rear, I'd check the state of the following:

• Top hat mounting nuts, both sides
• Sway bar end link fasteners, both sides
• Orientation of drop link mounts when at ride height

If your right-side engine mount was completely devoid of oil, I could see the mount making noise if the engine cradle was violently forced upwards. But that type of pounding did not happen on our test drive, and you've not mentioned any visible fluid loss at that corner

Another possibility is the main center nut for the shock shaft. You could get the car on stands, remove the top hat mounting nuts, and allow the shock to fall downward while still attached to the suspension. This should give enough room to check this nut using a hex wrench and an open socket. When satisfied that it's tight, raise the suspension until you can reattach the small nuts.

Just some thoughts.
