    No. The fix is a Full tilt Boogie bushing kit.

    Can you describe the noise? Is it when you are on and off the accelerator pedal? Is it when you hit bumps or when turning?

    Mine has the IRS clunk a little bit if I don't ease into the clutch on gear shifts, but that's about all I ever notice.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Probably the bolts on the front of the subframe they used smaller bolts to make them easier to install at factory they are smaller thanthe hole in the car

    Good suggestion. Get the larger mm bolts and install them.

    +1 to the larger subframe front bolts. Definately worth trying before fronting the $$ for the full tilt kit. Not knocking the full tilt kit though... solid fix, just a little costly
    Looking for another 03/04. PM me if you have one for sale!
