    Explorer intake EGR issue.

    I bought a Explorer intake that I was told had the internal EGR, however I have since found out it is an external EGR one. My question is: Is there any way I can use my EGR or maybe one from an Explorer to retain an EGR?

    Does this sound right to anyone?

    I believe the AC compressor clutch has gone out on my car as everytime I turn the AC on it squeals like a stuck pig. After checking around no one will just replace the clutch OR just the compressor. They say the system needs to be retro fitted and if they do not do this it will void the warranty...

    Rear lower than the front?

    I just bought a 87 GT project car and something is weird. The prior owner just replaced all the shocks and springs. I know the shocks are Monroe Sensa-tracs, have no idea on the springs. However, the rear appears to be at least 1-1/12 inches lower. Is there any way he could have put the front...
