    Lock removal?

    Your lock issue I just shaved the trunklid on my 92 vert and had the same issue. Turns out there was a second clip inside the trunklid as well as the outer one. Look up into the openings undernneath the outside lip. Once you get the inside one pulled it will slide right out. Hope this helps.

    Advantages of 5-lug Conversion

    My reasons were not only to be able to use the wheels I wanted, but way better braking came with the deal.

    5 lug swap into 92 Fox

    Sorry.... ....it's been awhile and there never seems to be an end to projects not of my own doing. The cobra mc was the perfect answer, and I really appreciate the time everyone took to school me. I'm glad I kept the 98 spindles. The back wheels could be in a half inch but nothing is rubbing...

    slight cooling issues and how to tell if fan clutch is bad?

    I think this more of a common issue with Foxes. I've had 5 of these beasts now and 2 of them had the same cooling issues. One so bad that it would actually fry the ignition modual on the side of the dist. My current fox has been totally gone thru. 3 core rad, high output water pump, new fan and...

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    In cruisin thru the junkyard thread last night I ran across the aluminum driveshaft out of a Aerostar portion. Being intriqued, today I went to my local Pull-A-Part and I found a 1994 Aerostar with a perfect driveshaft. First question is, the badge said 4WD, same thing as AWD? And the second is...

    Rear Gears

    Can someone tell me the pros and cons of switching my current 3.27 gears to 4.10's? 92 5.0 AOD. I drive the car mostly highway cruising but the occasional launch would be nice when called for. I don't street race it and would like to have the best all around ratio. Thanks.

    Noisy Rear Axle

    The question I present tonight is...how long does it take for new gear lube and friction modifier to get worked back into the clutch pack on a 98 rear axle? The Cobra rearend I used for my swap had been sittin around for a while and once it was all in it developed a chatter sound and had a...

    TV Cable -Distance from bracket to TDC of cotter pin?

    It's evidently a huge deal where mine was concerned. I was in the ball park but just the tinyest of adjustment mad a differance. Took the tech 4-5 times to get it right. Now I'm scared to touch it and I need to switch out my fuel pressure regulator. Sucks to be me Ii know. Lol.

    TV Cable -Distance from bracket to TDC of cotter pin?

    So my adjustment for this is 3 3/4 inches or about 90 mm from the inside edge of the bracket to the center of the hole where the pin slids in to the linkage. I hope this helps get you close even tho there are probably many factors that dictate where yours should actually be set at.

    TV Cable -Distance from bracket to TDC of cotter pin?

    I went thru the same thing. Almost thought I had a rebuild coming my way. When I took it to the shop the tech adjusted by way of rooad testing. He'd adjust, drive it, pull over and adjust again. Did that several times with me in the pass seat. Works great now. I will check when I get home...

    Anyone do a 5 lug swap with 98 Spindles?

    Update After visiting the alignment shop for the second time the tech went over everything carefully this time. Found play in inner tie rods and the sway bar bushings looked rough. I did not replace those items but they are on order now. Maybe that will take care of the abnormal vibration...

    Anyone do a 5 lug swap with 98 Spindles?

    When they had it on the rack full weight on the tires he turned the wheels side to side full lock and the tires never came close to anything. Maybe the term 'scruffing' the road is better. It's like for just an instance the tires are working against each other and once they staighten back out...

    Anyone do a 5 lug swap with 98 Spindles?

    Not sure if I should be asking this question here or the area for S95 cars but here goes. I did a swap using 98 Cobra spindles hubs ect, ect on a 92 vert. I'm feeling, for lack of better words, the feeling that something in the front is rubbing. Nothing comes close to the tires unless the wheel...

    Polyurethane Bushings worth the investment?

    Just rebuild front and back on my 92. Used Prothane thruout. Stiffer ride (but I've dropped mine 2 inches and it was already a little harsh from that) I like how everything feels tighter now.

    Proportion Valve used in 5 lug swap

    Nope it's the front when you barely turn either direction and goes away after it gets to 10 mph. I did notice that there was no adjustment made wwhere the strut goes thru the bearing on the caster/camber plate. I centered them up and they are still in that position. Thanks for the clarification...
