Re: Creeking Shock, Help? 850 1995

Steve- I put Bilsteins on my '94 855 about 15,000 miles ago. Recently I have been hearing a clunk everytime I go over a sharp bump. I replaced my ball joints at the same time as the shocks and just did the sway bar link ends suspecting these, but no luck. I had read posts re: the strut mounts and did the rears as they looked beat, but when I went to get fronts my dealer said don't bother.

Why are you replacing your mounts?

I do not feel any rattling, just a deep clunk. Maybe the sway bar bushings themselves? Gotta get under there and look when it's a bit warmer out!

BTW- since this clunking started, I have been regretting putting Bilsteins on. The ride seems much harsher and handling does not really seem any better than stock. Do you like your new shocks?
