Thanks Jager - I really do appreciate that. That is reassuring!

Hey everybody, thanks for the info and the comments. I'm not going to stress over the engine. It has already made it to 100k and I don't plan on racing it. I'll just keep up with the oil changes and try not to abuse it. I'll probably go ahead and upgrade the IMS when I do a clutch job. For now, I'll just focus on the suspension and the other little things that need some tlc, like the passenger side latch switch. Overall, the wife and I love the car. I think I just got a little paranoid reading so many negative comments on 1 forum.
Thanks again.

It's okay Darrin about the paranoia . It is understandable. I have had my Box for 2 years now and the pucker factor is reducing. The problem now is my right foot is too heavy still.....

I'd say that clunking needs to be addressed promptly. 'Play' severe enough to produce noise will also allow a lot of unwanted travel beyond what the engineers deemed acceptable. I'm no suspension expert but it seems to me that that particular arm will allow toe changes which will cause unwanted 'rear wheel steering'- at the extreme, it becomes 'erratic behaviour'. You don't want this occurring at highway speeds or in slippery conditions!
