Suspension noise through the body?

[Hoags]

I've got a question that I need a hand with...

Does anyone know of a way ro reduce the amount of suspension noise that is traveling through the body, I know that I need to replace some of the suspension bushings, which leads to a nother question: Is there a bushing kit available that will contain the suspension bushings or will I need to buy individule. I'm getting an excessive amount of roaf noise as well as the loud bangs and clunks as I ride along the wonderful roads of Western Penna.

Thank you, I'll await your input

Dan,
You might be able to find the right bushings on one of these two pages.

As far as reducing the noise, besides bushings, there is a way. You can purchase spray-able sound deadener. Some people use it to fill the cavities in their trunks when installing systems - it is a foam that expands and is great at dulling sounds. If you were to pull up your carpet, and spray a coat over all your floor pan, besides the tar mats / blankets that are all ready down to dull sounds (not there anymore on mine - weighed way too much ), it would help significantly deaden sound coming up through the floor pan. Another thing that I've heard helps reduce road / suspension noise is STB's (Strut tower braces). Thery're available at http://www.pfyc.com/ - they go between your strut towers to reduce chassis flexing, and thus allegedly help reduce noise.

I knew I could count on you guys!!,

Tam, I should have run a search but to be honest I had just gotten back from a ride in the GAGT ( it had been a while my wife has kinda taken over the car to go to work (goog milage). Any how after driving the new XL-7 pretty quiet for a 4X4 with a smooth ride, I got in the GT and was really disapointed in the amoung of noise I was picking up from the bumps in the road. After thinking about it I wasn't sure about the body mount system for the uni-body, I figured ther had to be at least a few bushings ant if they are shot thet would explain the noise.

I check the recomended sights form both both you and Ride. tomarrow.

Thanks again,

Dan
