    Replace A/C Valve

    We've only got an Advanced Auto and AutoZone in town, and I can't even find the valve cores on AutoZone's site. I went to Advanced Auto and the guy wasn't sure which part I'd need so... :bang: While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com Any of you guys...

    Stock Ride Height

    Anyone happen to know the stock height (ground to fender lip) of these cars? I've had a few people ask me how much lower my car is, but since I have the mm coil overs, I just adjusted the height until I liked how the car sat and never measured the stock height. EDIT: If you're measuring your...

    A/C Trouble

    I charged my A/C this morning. When I turned the car off, every bit of refridgerant in the system sprayed out the low side fitting. Is it possible to change this fitting? Or is this an indication of a problem with the a/c system?

    Exhaust manifold gasket change = headache, how?

    So... I can't get 2 bolts to thread all the way in. They just don't get hard to turn. They just stop. I've sprayed some solvent in the holes thinking there might be some anti-seize gunked up in the back, but that didn't fix the problem. You guy think I should try running a tap through it?

    How do you adjust tie rods to the proper length if you don't have the original tie rods to use as a measuring device?

    RS Rack and Pinion Shot

    So I blew the seals on my rack and pinion, and apparently the only to replace those $2 blue rubber seals is to spend $260 on a new rack and pinion :bs: As a temporary fix, I was thinking about getting a short serpentine belt and just not use the power steering pump. Bad idea? Anyone...

    What size nut is it

    What size nut is used to attach the ABS sensor wire to the lower shock mount? I was only able to get the old ones threaded a couple turns due to the added thickness of the Bilsteins, and they have apparently fallen off do to road vibrations.

    MM/Steeda Adj. Tie-rod ends

    I recently had a tie-rod come off on my car because I'm a genius and forgot to put the cotter pin back in. It was a pretty terrifying experience. So I'm looking at getting adjustable ends, shortened swaybar endlinks and x2 ball joints to minimize the binding of my steering to do an offset...

    Powersteering Leak

    So I'm changing out my tie-rods since the inner tie-rod ending up getting bent. Well, I removed the dust boot from the steering rack, and its full of power steering fluid. Time for a new rack or is it possible to replace a seal in this situation? And while I'm at it, anyone know...

    Coil-over noises

    I got the MM kit awhile back. Well, I noticed a creaking/pop sound when turning, which I would assume is the springs binded on the perches then "popping" into place when they are twisted so much. So the question is... Does anyone have a remedy for this? It's not really as much of a...

    Just for fun

    I'm considering buying new wheels. Primarily because the ultra-lites don't come in 18x10. So I thought I'd see what you guys think. Well, I was going to make this a poll, but I screwed it up. So basically I'm either sticking with the Ultra-lites or getting white Saleen's. Only problem...

    Corbeau complaints

    So I've had the corbeau cr1 seats for about 2 years now. They're great except for the lumbar support area which is a couple of metal springs or something and they dig into my spine. Its not so bad over a few minute drive, but it kills my back on long hauls. And I usually have the zig-zag...

    My most recent project:

    I finally got around to ordering new suspension parts: Now for some before and after pictures: I have a little bit more adjusting to do, but I'm satisfied where its at for now. I'm going to lower it another .5-.75" but I'm going to wait until I get some new wheels and...

    Everyone loves pictures

    I finally got everything installed and cleaned up and decided to snap a few shots. The passenger rear is about .5" higher than the other 3 corners. I want to lower the car about another .5" but I need to get a flatter floor jack first. The floor jack I have now barely clears the gas...

    Bilstein Shock Installation

    What should I do to keep the shock rod from turning? There is no recess or anything at the top to put a wrench on or a torx or anything like that.

    Holy Smokes Batman

    Now that's a 4x4 Mustang. I kind of like it. Maybe I'll trade in the coil-overs for a lift kit and some 26" wheels.

    Removing Springs

    http://greatnecksaw.com/product_info.php/pName/strut-spring-compressor/cName/undercar-shocks Is it okay to use that? It says MacPherson struts, but that's what the guy at AutoZone handed me.

    I love seeing the UPS truck infront of my house.

    Only one problem. I have 4 left over pieces from the front coil-over hardware kit. Are these spacers? My digital camera just died so I can't take a picture. They're both ~15mm inside diameter. Two are 1/4" tall and the others are 1/8" tall. Can't seem to find anything in the instructions...

    Replacement taillights

    Does anyone have any experience with replacement taillights from a company such as 50resto? I need to purchase a pair of oem taillights and I was wondering what the quality and fitment difference is between aftermarket and ford replacements. Thanks, Aaron
