    Screwy Steering problems.

    Swapping the rack isn't a problem. It's easy enough considering other stuff on a Mustang. The most expensive one they had, (rack for a Mustang w/performance suspention), was $114 by itself. Outer tie rods ran about $25 a side. An alignment around here also runs about $50 total. The parts guy...

    Screwy Steering problems.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I feel like such a damn moron now. I hopped in MY 89 hatch to go to the parts house to order up a new rack and noticed something.... mine does the same damn thing when turning the wheels. For crying out loud I could hit myself in the head with a bag of hammers...

    Screwy Steering problems.

    I have a 89 Mustang GT 5.0 automatic vert with some strange steering problems. I wanted to ask yall if yall had any better idea what was going on. Basically, what it amounts to is I have to turn the steering wheel farther to get it to turn at all. I checked the car in park and more or less to...

    Defective Engines?

    I would say that I'm surprised but I'm not. It's usually not advisable to purchase a vehicle the first year it's completely redone from the ground up. Too many damn bugs to work out. I only beta test software... not automobiles.

    Throttle by wire?

    Exactly. And if the government were really all that bent on stopping pollution they would allow the import of of other vehicles built in countries that have even better emmisions standards. Many of which still wonder of wonders use the acceleration cable. Make mass transportation more of a...

    I'm a Founding Member? What's this?

    Crap. Now I'm a "senior's member" for a title. I'd be happier with "wrinkled member" though. Doesn't sound quite as old.

    05 Eleanor

    My word. A car that's actually worth a crap in the hands of either Sr. or Jr. after that truck incident in the parking lot is just plain ass scary .

    Throttle by wire?

    Yeap there is a way. It's called the tow truck. The more an more I have to deal with all the electronic crap in my car the more I love the older Capri RS I had. That damn car wasn't pretty but it got my ass home even when a sending unit went out or bad. Try that in a newer car these days and...

    MUSTANG GT WITHOUT SIDE SKIRTS...YOUR OPINION HERE...

    We plan on pulling ours off because we like the cleaner look of the Cobra sideskirts. No flame intended here but is your hood a little off or is i just the photo? It seems like part of the hood is open. Other than that it's one really nice lookin ride. :D

    Convertible top woes.

    I'm going to talk to my agent again sometime next week after I cool down from today. The really farked thing is even if I get the damn paperwork wormed out of the upholstry shop, according to the upholstry shop they won't touch the top again. Leaving me to find and pay for another shop to remove...

    Convertible top woes.

    Well, ladies and gentlemen I finally got a number for the "manufacturer." The number I was given was not exactly for the manufacturer but a middleman. Big shocker there. I was told that the agreement was they would ship a new top to replace what I got or send me $200 of "hush" money and live...

    Convertible top woes.

    I've heard of places with $500 and less install jobs on convertible tops. That's why I thought it a tad high when they told me what it was going to cost. It was damaged in an accident and insurance covered it since it wasn't really old. I called the place up today and this "kid" answered the...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    I lived in Europe, more specifically Czech Republic, for almost 8 months. I used every part of their transportation system they had including the trains. Everything was smooth and great. When we had to do the paperwork to make my wife a permenant resident we started off on a train, hopped a bus...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    It is already affecting SUV sales in my area. Dealerships are selling alot less "heavy" vehicles and seeing more hybrids being requested because of fuel costs. The story seems the same all accross the country. I wonder how long it will run though. There may be a few of us here old enough to...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Well, I for one can say I'm not wasting money anywhere. My cars are almost 15 years old, can't afford to buy a new or recently used one for that matter. Lotto is something dreams are made of. I just can't justify playing even a one dollar ticket cause at the end of the year that $365 I could...
