[QUOTE="883cobra, post: 1212142, member: 18881"] I have noticed over the past few weeks that the left front suspension has developed a "rattle" when I travel over slight imperfections in the road.I don't mean pot holes and large "bumps" in the road.It rattles when I go over uneven transitions in the pavement.Sorry, it is kind of difficult to explain when it happens.The rattle sounds like the left spring is loose or that the control arms have a lot of travel in them,like the bushings are worn out.I am hoping to be able to have the car looked at today when I go to work(I work at a Ford dealership). The car is a 94 Cobra Convertible running the factory suspension and factory wheels an tire size with over 115000 miles. I am guessing that the last two owners never replaced the struts or its been a very long time since any of the cars suspension has been taken care.Which means I will be purchasing some much needed replacement parts.Since there are so many different avenues of parts to get and so many different ways to upgrade the 20 years suspension on my car. I am not looking to go to radical or over the top.Maybe level the cars ride height by an inch and half.I drive this car everyday and I have no plans to race this car or seriously abuse it by pushing it to the limits and scraping the ground. Any advice or suggestions for this "first time" owner of a 94 cobra convertible would be much appericiated. Thank you for reading this and replying if do. Mike [/QUOTE]
