Clunk after CHF
The cheap handling fix made a world of difference in my 2003 F53 but now I have a clunk in the front. I don't see any sign of the sway bar link hitting the spring but that's about all it can be. It's close!
I think I need longer front links.
I've done a bunch of research and found these longer links:
Hellwig 7962 11-14" Adjustable Endlinks
but from what I'm reading, the bushings that come with the Hellwig links have to be replaced because they are the wrong size for a 2003 F53. Is that correct? Also some of the reviews say the threads on the Hellwig links are not always machined that great. Is there another option?
Looks like some people who install the Hellwig links use their old bushings but I really don't want to use my old ones. I'd like to upgrade to poly ones. Like these:
I've been searching the web for polyurethane bushing to replace the bushing on the Hellwig links with and haven't had much luck.
Anyone know where I can get a front set for a 2003 F53?
Any other advice is ALWAYS welcome!!!!!
