Are you absolutely sure your upper control arm is not making contact with the bottom of the strut tower? Also same for the lower control arm in the subframe? I can see with you being fairly lowered reaching the limits for the suspension design, I actually had a customer who was soooooo low the locking nut in his ingalls camber kit busted thru the metal in the strut tower.........

Absolutely certain. If that were the case, the DS would be doing it as well. My drop is about 2.5" (right at the tread). Like I said before, this didn't start until my drive north from Miami. My ride height hasn't changed since before I moved. The only thing that did change, besides the recent parts changing, were my wheels from something aggressive to a set that is considerably less aggressive.

Have you checked the mid subframe mount? it is the one near the axel and is held in with 2 14mm head bolts to the subframe and 1 17mm head bolt5 to the chassis.

I gave it a look over but not a thorough check. I'm going to throw her on the jack this afternoon and check that out.

Yes, he means #11/12 in the picture.

That's what I figured but needed to confirm. That little mount looks so unassuming and I can't imagine it being the problem. I guess I'll find out later this afternoon if the sky doesn't fall on me.

I'm just trying to think of "non-common" parts that could be making the noise described.

I'd also look at 22,23 as well as the rubber mount for the down pipe.

Funny you mention 22 and 23. I actually did pop those two off and had a look at them as they are pretty odd looking parts. No broken rubber or anything physically wrong with them.

Those are weights to reduce vibration. Mine have been long gone for a while now. You can remove them if you want, but you may get more engine vibration if you do.

That's what they looked like to me and didn't look like they served much of a purpose IMO. I threw them back on since they were already there and not disturbing anything. Later on down the road, I may just take them off for that JDM weight reduction.

More weight reduction than taking a dump.
