    power steering - Rack is moving

    My lx is a '92, the bushings I bought were for a 90-93. We only torqued the bolts down with the impact wrench. I think the thing puts down 120 ft-lbs of torque. Anybody know the torques specs?

    power steering - Rack is moving

    Okay, I just replaced a worn out rack on my '92 LX and the new rack is moving side-to-side when I turn the wheels. The new rack is the quick ratio, and I installed it with prothane poky rack bushings. I took the car to get it aligned yesterday and they told me the rack was moving, and they...

    Help me create the "Surging Idle Checklist"

    Okay, haven't seen my problem on here yet. I just bought a '92 LX HB. It is cammed, and BEEFY! It's only died at startup once, but it was really cold out. The problem is when the engine is warm sometimes it will jump to 1500 rpms when it's idling. Most of the time it idles fine (right around...

    Identifying heads

    I just bought a '92 hatchback that hauls..... It has an aftermarket mass air sensor and throttlebody, gt-40 intake, cold air induction and an unknown crane cam. This car isjust plain fast, but I can't see how it could be this fast with stock heads. How can I identify what type of heads I have...

    Convertible Rear Quarter window help

    I have a problem with both rear quarter windows in my '92 LX. When I click down on the window switches the windows go down, but neither window will come back up. I can hear the motor running, but the windows don't even flinch. I ran across another thread that discussed this problem...

    Vert Q. Windows off the track, Please help

    Does anybody know how to get the quarter windows back on the window tracks? They both quit rolling up about 6 months from each other and I'm sick of having to pull them up manually. I don't know if they're simply off the track, or if the motors have gotton too weak to raise them. I can lower...

    Stock rubber suspension bushings

    Thanks all, so keep rubber bushings in the rear control arms and switch to poly for the rest of the car. Any suggestions on decent bushing sets? I've heard that Energy makes the best poly's, any opinions?

    Stock rubber suspension bushings

    I want to install new bushings in my 5.0, but I can't find a company that sells the stock rubber bushings. Everybody that I've talked to has told me not to use the polyurethane bushings as they make the ride pretty rough. As this is my cruiser I want to keep the ride comfortable, can anybody...

    Ford racing "f" springs

    Has anybody here ever installed the FRPP "F" springs? I have a chance to grab a set for cheap and was told they are about the same drop and ride-quality as the Eibach pros. Any advice, pros or cons, etc.? I checked the reviews section, and found nothing on these springs.

    Suspension Advice

    Okay, I have a 92 lx vert, and I need some quick advice on improving my suspension. I have about $500 to spend, and I want to lower my stang while improving the handling. I initially wanted to go with the Steeda g-trac system, but it costs way too much. I know I need to go with aftermarket...

    FINALLY! GOT A 5.0

    you sure it's only got 74K miles on it? Friend of mine got duped a couple of years ago when he bought a 93 notchback. Guy told him it only had 80K (somewhere near 80K) on it. It turned out to be 180K after the appropriate carfax check. Luckly for him it was a dealer and he got most of his...

    Found a bad bad thing during paint job prep...any opinions on frame rot?

    I have a similar problem with my vert, but the rust is in the channel that the trunk supports are welded to. The convertible top bolts to the other side and is leaking somewhere. I am clueless as to how to fix it, so it's probably going to the stang shop here in Jacksonville soon! Hope you...
