    Repairs and a nice Russ Thompson upgrade on my MKII

    I had a clunking noise in the right rear of my MKII. Even the 1 inch drop backing out of the garage I could hear and feel it. Brought the car to Rods Customs here in Punta Gorda and it turned out to be a bad right rear shock and a missing right rear upper control arm bushing. Had the shocks and control arms replaced and while there, they installed the Russ Thompson turn signal mod I had purchased a couple months ago. I had a joystick before for the turn signals. What a difference in driving pleasure with the RT mod.
