It took me years to find, buy and mount my Eibach springs. I am delighted at how the car handles, I live in the hills of Barcelona, and basically I feel what every wheel is doing. Pace is great too. I am also delighted at how the car looks, now lower. However, I am not so delighted with the thumping noises especially the rear suspension makes. I had the springs mounted by a cheap mechanic back in Germany and I guess he didn't replace any of the mounting parts. Shock absorbers are standard and were not replaced. Basically the car used to make noises previously, as if the shocks and springs were loose, but now it is so much worse. I don't feel the car to be particularly stiff but it makes what feels as "bottomed down" noises with the smallest of bumps or holes. Does anybody know of any typical issues or whether it is simple wear?
- What suspension components shall I replace and how often?
- Any specific issues?
- Were there specific brands and models recommended by Ford after 99?
- I read somewhere Eibachs were made to be mounted to normal shock absorbers. Is there any "softish" absorber you know to combine well with Eibachs?
Thanks a million. And a half.
