so im assuming the broken rubber inside keeps going up and down making my car sound like its broken when i pass pretty girls and i look like a fool... haha just messing but in all seriousness is this what could be causing my car to clunk when i hit a dip? could it have happened because theres too much stress on the mount from the lowering springs i installed? as far as i know is that these are the second replacements but from a junkyard. i found the infamous green coloring from the parts places around here.
any info would help. ill be going to the junkyard tomorrow to see if i can find any pretty looking ones. i know there like 70 bucks new so im not really looking forwrd to putting two of those badboys on.. haha. thanks guys
