rubber insert install went great, the noise seems to be reduced but is still very evident. i dont know what more i could do. ehhh, it was worth a shot. maybe ill think of somthing better. as for now i guess i have to deal with it. oh by the way im getting an alignment tomorrow and when on the phone with NTB today they told me it was $105. im gonna argue with them because i dont see how a regular alignment differs much from one on a lowered vehicle. they said there was a price difference if the vehicle was lowered. anyone have some solid points i can make in my arguments. i dont know too much about alignment processes and how they differ from regular height vehicles to lowered ones. plus my car isnt all that lowered. i still have 6 inches of clearence behind the front tire and 6.5 in front of the rear tire if taking measurments from the side moldings.
