I also installed this bobble strut with new bushings (not shown), it takes the place of the rear most center lower shock dampening strut/engine mount

The front end is tight, but I suspect a clunk is an axle (note what appears to be a Dodge P/N tag). I have the high performance axle for the SRT brake upgrade, but I need to fix that noise long before I get to that point. I grabbed an axle and spent a few minutes replacing it just now. Also shown is the factory strut mount

I bought these and they are on the way. I always liked these caps and can relive the late 90's smile

The hub caps arrived, the wheels are repainted, the blue 1st Gen parts car neon sold weeks ago, then the 4dr 2cnd Gen Neon sold so I needed a car for my youngest..... so I bought this this morning. George and I will drag it to my FIL's garage tonight before the fight

Oops I did it again. My wife sold the 2cnd Gen Neon to a coworker so my youngest needed a new ride. I already have a perfect color match fender, a buldge hood in the right color but the paints burnt. I have the divers wheel and airbag coming off my car during an upgrade and I bought the passenger airbag. I buffed the take off headlights from my Neon, I bought a radiator and the entire radiator core support section new today. I'll be fixing this one ASAP. I need one fan and a condenser and a section of dash.

I went to the junkyard this weekend. The bumper wasn't actually that bad but since it was tweaked slightly I went to grab another. I found a grille (surprisingly all are removed at the yard) and I grabbed an entire spare sunroof because you don't see them

I also scored some NOS hubcaps for my daughters car, and NOS rear splash Shields possibly for my car, and headlight gaskets for her car

EDIT a previous edit I had tried to type....

Oh thanks, I had a 97 coupe new and kind of grew to really like that car.

Today I decided to start my long weekend early, and took some vacation. Since work is not far from the salvage yards I rolled by to talk to a man who works in that area that had seen my car and offered to sell me a 2dr Neon cheap. So after that I did a little hunting and turned up a bulge hood and I've dealt with the guys at that yard before and he said he'd sell me a buldge hood he had for $25 (but I was in my Neon, so it had to wait). I then stopped by a buddy's body shop on the way back. They said they could heat cure the paint on my rims for me

I drove my Neon home and loaded the painted wheels into my `Cuda (because I've been having withdrawls) I dropped the wheels off and headed tward my wife's work since she was driving my Ram. I swapped cars (you should have seen her face since i was leaving the Cuda) I then went and grabbed the hood and went back and swapped vehicles again.

I then went and picked up the wheels.....it's a great day PICS TO FOLLOW TONIGHT

Cool looking wheels. Is the bulge hood for your Neon? Why not an SRT4 hood?

This buldge hood is for my white car, I already have one for my daughter car.

I had discount mount and balance my tires, I installed them and then put my 14's on my daughters car......


EDIT because the second Generation 4dr SRT4 is about 800lbs heavier and when its time to go fast all the stock parts are upgraded anyway

I think a drop in now in order...

BTW: We need to get a group shot of your red, white and blue Mopars.
