[Miata] 01+ NB Drivers running FM Sways?

[Keith Tanner]

Yes, we've had a few bars clunking recently. We thought we had the
cause identified, now I'm not so sure. It shouldn't be affecting
mounting points at all of course.

As always, if you have problems with an FM part, please contact us. We
don't always find things posted to forums.
