Re: "Project ShortHaul" The Build Journey

Also managed to diagnose the front end clunk i was hearing...

turns out the bump stop on the driver's side was missing, while the passenger's side was still in place. When the passenger's side fully compressed, the Upper A Arm contacted the stock size bump stop and allowed the super short coil spring to become unweighted and wobble around in its spring pocket. The Driver's side has no bump stop, therefore i wasn't experiencing the same issue on that side.

I realize its kind of sketchy to not have bump stops, so i'm looking at picking up a shorter set, or modifying the stockers so they don't unweight the spring.

I'm also considering swapping the springs for longer ones, but I have grown awfully fond of the slammed front end look i have going on right now...
