i can't locate an annoying under hood rattling. it began occurring soon after i had a maximum motorsports road and track kit installed. at first it didn't occur much and now it occurs frequently and more loudly. if i slowly engage first gear i hear it. i also hear it when driving over bumps. revving the engine in neutral will not cause the sound. it sounds like two metal parts rattling against each other.
maximum motorsports thinks i may need to shim the struts - i didn't realize that was necessary? what is a good shop for me to bring it to diagnose and fix?
i also want to sell it. what do you think it is worth as is (assuming a strut shim) and with the issue fixed? here are the details:
98 laser red cobra, 53k miles, black interior, never wrecked or raced
interior: 9 out of 10 (steering wheel paint is peeling at top), typical rattles/squeeks for old mustang
exterior: 7 to 8 out of 10 (swirl marks, couple minor scratches/dings)
rattling issue described above + throw out bearing sometimes squeeks a little (very little but noticeable and hasn't changed in years i've owned the car)
tires: 50% tread
mods: maximum motorsports road and track kit, 03 cobra style front control arms, suspension mods only 2 years old and <3k miles, tint, shorty antenna, magnaflow exhaust (modified by kinny's to fit around panhard bar)
