I hear it when im creeping up in drive-thrus. At a very low RPM as gas is starting i hear this annoying knocking/rattle. Anyone else chase a noise like this?

EDIT: mods are some basic bolt ons - Cobb kit with cat back exhaust and intake, and I think its got a turbosmart BOV. I assume if there was a tune it was wiped by the dealer who I bought it from at 8800 miles.

Pulled my groin (hip flexor*) apparently doing the drivers side blend door actuator and the anger I had while loosening and tightening the 2 screws...it scared me.

If I had to, I think I'd rather do the control arm again honestly. At least with that, I could hammer out some frustration and in the long run it felt satisfying to fix. The blend door was just pure aggravation.

After doing one control arm, I think I could probably do the other faster than the actuator.

TLDR:
I just want to talk to the actuator engineer...

Ultimately it wasnt a huge amount of time, but you have to love the convenient cuts in youtube videos.

Tip, it took a lot of hammering on the new control arm right next to the ball joint to get the the angled bolt in.

EDIT: Also, if you notice your tires do not seem to be lasting nearly as long as they should, you should look into doing this, even if you aren't hearing the clunk.
