popping from the rear end fixed.

[the fat bastid]

ok, so i had the popping from the rear end thing going on for awhile now.
the tsb didnt fix it. a 2nd visit didnt fix it. 3rd times the charm.

the head tech himself was working on it and he kept my car for a week. he found that it was a faulty weld where the swaybar bracket is on the frame and called it a bur at one point. he said 3 other marauders had the same problem.

there seems to be more then one answer to this issue and just thought i'd spread some more info.

Great info, thanks. Was the sway bar bracket actually loose, then?

Not suprised to see this issue. Seven years ago there was a recall on town cars and police cars for this bracket breaking off!

[Haggis]

Thanks for the info Gavin. Was or is there any other damage to your car because of this and how serious of a problem is it?


Gavin you never answered my PM about Cleveland or Indy??

Now I have to check my rear.

I'm not sure we need this much information...
