    Clunk on moderate to hard take-off from standstill

    It ended up being the new engine mount. I foolishly assumed it wasn’t that because it had less than 1000 miles on it. Rookie mistake, lesson learned.

    Firm Feel Suspension + Wilwood 6 Piston Disc Brake Project

    Whoops, I said TKX only because it’s the existing option. I’m definitely itching to have a manual transmission again; hard to beat the experience.

    Firm Feel Suspension + Wilwood 6 Piston Disc Brake Project

    Good to know from practical experience! I too do not like the floaty feel and after taking my car out for another spin, I’m loving the setup. I’ve read your TKX post a few times…potentially pulling the trigger on that next.

    Firm Feel Suspension + Wilwood 6 Piston Disc Brake Project

    I had never considered the combo of soft springs and stiffer sway bar. Logically that makes sense. Yes, Hotchkis does have the TVS system but I wasn’t a fan of their upper A-Arms. The wheel brand is Bassett, D-hole style and the sizes are: Front -> 15x7 with 3.75” back spacing Rear - > 15x10...

    Firm Feel Suspension + Wilwood 6 Piston Disc Brake Project

    At the time when I bought the car. It needed tires and had mismatched wheels; this was a decently priced option while I mull over another set in due time. I bought a set from ESPO, with +2 in height. Currently have a 1 inch lowering spacer as it was tough to gauge how high the car would...

    Firm Feel Suspension + Wilwood 6 Piston Disc Brake Project

    Interesting that you brought this up as I discussed this subject with Firm Feel. For a tight course auto-cross, it is apparently advantageous not to have a rear sway bar. My motivations on the rear sway bar are partly that conversation and party my experience with stiffer rear sway bars on my...

    Firm Feel Suspension + Wilwood 6 Piston Disc Brake Project

    Right, I’m definitely not trying to stay original; too many other nicer examples out there for that. Circle track car aligns, I’d say. We’ll see over time! Autocross interests me, but not at this stage of my life right now. In due time.

    Firm Feel Suspension + Wilwood 6 Piston Disc Brake Project

    Hey Everyone - I’m posting my most recent project on my 70’ Charger that included a full front suspension rip and replace, plus the addition of a 6 Piston Wilwood Disc Brake kit. Please note that my charger has the front spindles from a 1973 Challenger (larger diameter), which allows for the 6...

    Clunk on moderate to hard take-off from standstill

    If it breaks in an unreasonable amount of time again, I will consider this. Thank you.

    Clunk on moderate to hard take-off from standstill

    Thank you everyone! Super helpful as usual. It ended up being that the brand new motor mount on the driver side (less than 1000 miles) had separated. The noise I was hearing was the header flange whacking the floor board. I’m going to be replacing with another mount that includes a modification...

    Clunk on moderate to hard take-off from standstill

    Ding ding, we have a winner. The brand new mount separated. I’ve discovered another thread that has a modification suggestion to putting a couple nuts and bolts to help prevent separation; I’m going to try that.

    Clunk on moderate to hard take-off from standstill

    Touché my friend. My current available options are my wife and a 17 month old . But yes, need to further isolate the source with someone.

    Clunk on moderate to hard take-off from standstill

    Okay thanks for the input. Hah, I’m working on it ;). It’s got a 318 with a 355 stroker kit from the previous owner (no other details) but it’s actually got a surprising amount of power, in my opinion.

    I’ve got new mounts in there, so it’s not that.

    Clunk on moderate to hard take-off from standstill

    Hi Eveyone - When taking off from a stop (904 Auto) with moderate to aggressive throttle, there is a loud clunk that I can also seem to feel through the throttle in my foot. I have all new suspension, mounts, etc. What could be causing this? I’m not super familiar with the 904 and respective...
