And upon further inspection, the NEW Radiator was already trashed and was, as they so kindly put it, “Knicked when the Mechanic put it in the car”. So now service is currently installing another brand new radiator (at no cost to me!)
And as for the clunking noise that has existed since I’ve owned the car, well, it’s been evicted with the replacement of just about every suspension piece over the entire time that I’ve owned it. The newest piece to be replaced was sway bar links and bushings and it appears that they were the culprit! Not the tie rods nor the control arms nor the other countless suspension pieces that were replaced at Warranty’s expense. Hooray!

If you do decide to replace it with something else, I could get you a great deal on a 2012 Jaguar XF-R.

As much as I’d love to have one. I’m not sure I could spare the maintenance cost, let alone the monthly payments ;)

Aw, it’s not THAT bad! Plus, it’s a Jaaaaaaag sedan with a 510HP supercharged V8! You could just outrun the mechanical issues!

Im having my front end bushings replaced as well. Youre just having stock OEM replacements?
Im going all out, we’re doing coilovers, sway bar links and bushings in order to stiffen it all up as well. Also having a full new brake system done, not sure exactly what brand yet, but something beefy.

Yeah, OEM because warranty work. Now when I start having excess money, I might get a little fun with my R/T ;)
I bet that will be awesome with that upgrade!

I’ll keep you posted on how it feels, and what parts end up going in. I’m not getting an off-the-shelf setup, so there’s also that. Now that it’s getting upgrades, it’s really going to turn into a wicked ride.
Since the Charger is a little lighter, it would feel even better for you.
