Default Front suspension

Ill do my best to describe whats going on so bare with me.

Lately my front suspension has seemed to get a lot stiffer. More so when droving over bumps and down gravel roads. I don't recall it being that stiff. Its like i can feel it a lot more when driving over the bumps/gravel road. Also it seems to be more noticeable when its colder....

It could just be just now noticing it but who knows. Wanted to seek other opinions on the matter.

secondly is it me or do mustangs have a lot of rattle and squeaks when driving them? I guess that's what music and exhausts are for....

Sounds like your dampers. And yeah, lots of squeaks and rattles. SFCs help. My car probably has lots of rattles that I don't hear due to the exhaust. I've got a lot of rattles due to the exhaust too.

excuse me for this stupid question.... but dampers anything to do with my iso's?

*edit* nvm I figured it out. I had to replace my rear shocks a few years ago.

I thought they would last longer than 35k miles......

What do you have for suspension right now?

And mine was pretty damn quiet till I started modding it. The exhaust since I have dumps added some noises.

seconding the dampers. Replace shocks and struts.

And yes, no matter what you do it'll always have little rattles and squeaks.

lol... Rattles and squeaks, yep. I didn't know anything about rattles until I had my headers put in, that's a whole different ball game.

My car tends to rattle more when it's cold too, I guess it's just because all of the plastics/poly's are stiff.
