I should replace the struts too along with the mounts. They are original and have 80k on them. Although that will have to hold off as it is quite pricey for FE3 struts. I just want to eliminate the clunking first and if its subframe bushings thats a much cheaper fix. I just want to make sure thats them. Clunking upon acceleration could have been many things and I have eliminated most of them. I am hoping its the subframe bushings as you said if its an easy job. I will get to them eventually but I need to save up on some cash first as I already spend a bunch on parts in the last month. Would you say a subframe busing replacement take more time that a strut replacement?
What do you think caused my P0420 code. I cleared the code two days ago and it has not come back. I find it hard to believe its my cat as it only has 80k miles on it and my exhaust has not foul smell or white smoke. Also not sure if it is the O2 sensors either because my gas mileage has been consistent 10-16 city and 25-30 highway. Also th car does not hesitate or has had any loss of performance.
The code came on on the highway on the 240+ mile trip back home two days ago.
