New to my Ms3 questions

[Ben Nast]

Just got a red 07 Ms3 with 7k miles on it. I love the car, showroom clean, runs perfect. Still stock. Couple of questions:
When I go over bumps the rear seems to clunk a bit. Is this normal due to the tight suspension or something damaged?

When I push the clutch in and out it has a mild creek feel to it. Notice at idle or engine off. The clutch in my srt4 feels very smooth at 40k same as when new. Is this a different kind of clutch set up? Am I feeling pre mature wear?

Other then that everything perfect.

The clunk is probably a loose nut on the rear sway bar. I suspect the clutch is just different and you will get used to it.

I second checking the rear sway bar. And my clutch pedal has the same feel to it you are describing. Not sure if its normal though. My car just rolled 3k yesterday so I know its not worn. I am going to ask about it when I get my oil changed.

You guys were right about the sway bar, I found a loose nut and tightened it. Clunk sound now gone. Thanks for the tip! Why would it have worked loose to begin with? Is this common?

I get the same sound from clutch... prob just needs a little lube on pedal mechanism....
