Finally got my car at 100%

As many members already know, I have a love/hate relationship with my car.
I love it when it works, and I hate it when it doesn't work.



long story short, my car has always had alignment issues.
we rarely got the car dialed in perfectly, and when we did, the first bump on the road would knock the car out of alignment.

fast forward to this week, i dropped the car off to RPM Racing, and they figured out the problem. after putting back a lot of OEM suspension components in the car, i am glad to say it is finally perfect. the car drives straight. there's 0 rubbing, and there's no loose feeling. The culprit was the dog bones, and my transmission mount was broken, causing the car to make a clunking type sound.

Im relieved that I can finally enjoy the car for these last few months.
Huge thanks to Craig Paisley at RPM Racing for their patience and for not giving up on my car.

Not RPM Racing. RPM North. Craig got my car back in order too recently. I have a set of USP Motorsports dogbones if you'd like to go adjustable one day. On the car for 4 months.

glad to hear it working great, always better Do you track you car at all? My problem is ever since I got the track bug I don't enjoy it on the road anymore, but then again Florida has straight, flat boring roads - maybe thats why

I don't think you can even purchase the old part anymore...the old part has been superseded as far as I know by the 997tt mount.
