TSB= Technical Service Bulletin

I've got over 5k on my car after my fix on some of the worst roads you will find and not a peep, all the other parts where just use less just give me 2 rubber pads for 2 bucks.

Thanks again Paul I will have to call and see how many amanti's they have fixed do to you now. I know last I checked they had fixed about 12 amanti's after mine worked so well.

Thanx for all the good info, as I mentioned before, it was my front right side that had the clunk, which thank-you is now not a problem but, can this now later become a problem on the left side, "down the road"?

They should have replaced both rubber pads which honestly is/was the whole problem. If you do a search on the forum I was talking about the clunk in my car in 04 when it only had 5k miles when it started. The 1st fix was rubber spring pads and collars the 1st 2 numbers which did zip zero zilch. The second fix came from Paul's info and that was all she has needed.

If you check your paper work it should have 2 each for the spring pads if they where replaced and the little rubber pads for the sway bar but 1 for the collars if replaced since they come in a pack of 2.

PLEASE IGNORE my last message on the sway bar bushing part #'s! THE CORRECT # is as previosly stated #62544-3F000 ( too tired to see correctly, off to bed! Mea Culpa!
