    Specific Cam Questions that Google can't seem to answer...

    Not trying to rehash any of the cam debates I've looked through on here or on other Mustang sites, and a lot of that information is now getting on 1-2 decades old so a lot of the information is outdated... specifically on parts availability. I tried to make this short and to the point but I...

    My Stupid Rearview Mirror (with solution)

    So a moment of backstory here before I tell of my momentary glimpse of genius... when I bought my '89 vert, the mirror had fallen off at some point for the previous owner and as is the habit of some owners in these pony cars, Firebird and Camaro owners being no exception, when that thing falls...

    New sway bars. Now there is a clunk noise when turning full lock.

    I just installed a set of Eibach sway bars (36/25mm) on my car last weekend and twice while driving now I’ve heard a metallic clunk while turning at full lock. I realized after doing this twice that something must not be clearing right. Has anyone ever experienced a wheel hitting the sway bar or...

    Odd question - Door open chime really quiet?

    Just wondering if this is a common issue, or if anybody else has experienced this, but when I got my car 3 years ago the door open chime was nice and annoying as it should be, and then I did something or something broke... I can't really pinpoint it to an event, but now it is very very quiet...

    Cold Start Issue... ACT Sensor? '89 LX 2.3L (Update: Actually Fuel Pump Fun)

    I'm partly looking for simple confirmation here and partly looking for additional ideas. So the car will crank and crank and crank and after about the 4th time I give it a 10 second burst, it will fire a little while cranking, then within a couple more tries the car will grudgingly come to...

    Progress Thread Haven't posted in a looong time... rescuing another 'stang... '89 Vert

    It's been 5/6 years since my last post... I sold my '00 GT shortly after my first kid was born, poured that money into a down payment on a Subaru and never saw it again... I have two kids now and they're getting older and less expensive, and I started to squirrel away a few dollars. Now I've...

    Need new quad shocks on the cheap. What say you?

    Just had some work done on the mustang, new calipers and rotors in the back and the guy at my shop showed me that my quad shocks are leaking like crazy while it was on the lift. I've been looking around for a while for replacements and rarely do I find "quad shock" as the description. Is...

    A/C Idler (?) pulley resists turning by hand... burning belt.

    First off, is this what the pulley above the A/C compressor is called or something else? I started smelling a burning serpentine belt a couple days ago when it was raining and thought, perhaps the old belt has stretched enough that a little moisture is causing it to slip. So I got a new...

    Rear End leaking... oh fun!

    Just got the car inspected and they took me in there to look at the differential while it was on the lift... it's slowly leaking out of the back gasket and through the front seal. I probably don't have the time to take care of this myself, so I'm wondering what a reasonable labor and parts...

    Just bought a 2000 Mustang GT 5Spd

    I have a question regarding the clutch in my new to me mustang and yes I have done a search on here, which has helped a little, but I mostly just want to confirm what I've pieced together. I have been driving a 97 Camaro RS the last 6 years and have grown accustomed to the weight of the...
