So when I bought my 2015 SHO a week ago I noticed they installed new front struts. Annoyingly they are the Monroe SHO specific quick struts. I would have preferred OEM hats and springs and just replace the cartridge but thats too late. I would get some KYBs but notice they dont have the spindle mount. I assume they came apart on the OEM ones but the Monroes have them welded to the shock.
At any rate the passenger side one started to make noise when I would turn. Got it in the air and could grab the spring and rotate it by hand a tad and could hear the noise in the hat/mount. Not wanting to drop $1000 on coilovers (not sure how harsh they are) nor wanting to buy all new Ford stuff I had my local distributor warranty out the part. I installed the new one and it was quiet for 100' and while it only makes a slight noise on initial turn (old one creeked through whole turn) it still annoys me. Any ideas here to correct that or just bite the bullet and coilover the car?
The butt seems too high anyway.
