    Traction Bars Position On Mid Eye Spring

    Is anyone running traction bars with the bushing on the mid eye springs? With my old springs the rubber bushing sat against the end of the spring which was flat. Having the bushing on the rounded edge of the spring throws off the brackets that bolt to the spring as well. Thinking I may...

    Fix tire rub

    Did some more looking around and have a question. Does it matter which way the shackles are setup? I currently have the bolts on the inside (closer to gas tank) and the threaded rod sides pushed through from the outer side of the subframe.

    Fix tire rub

    Finally got everything put back together with the 5 leaf mid eye springs! Took the car for a drive over the weekend and the wheels do not seem to rub. I had a hell of a time getting the old leafs out. Front bolts on both sides had to be cut out using a combination of angle grinder and...

    Fix tire rub

    Thanks for your view on the 5 leaf, I am going to go with them rather than the 4.5's. It wont hurt changing them since mine are quite old. Plan B if the tires still rub might be to try picking up the trans am rear disk conversion setup. I may be able to recoup some of my cost on the mustangsteve...

    Fix tire rub

    I was able to roll the fender lips some more! After driving a short distance i still rubbed when going over bumps in the road. I am now ready to order a new set of springs. 5 leaf mid eye was suggested, but some of the places I have seen advertise 5 leaf mid eye as lowering springs. Am I...

    Fix tire rub

    Here is the inner fender issue I mentioned. In order to roll the fender any more I feel like I would need to drill out the rivets and cut the mangled inner fender back first.

    Fix tire rub

    I have rolled the lip some using a hammer but am afraid to go further. The inner fender has a very rough fit along the inside of the lip and I think it needs to be cut out in order to allow me to roll the fender lip any more. I can get a picture of this uploaded later.

    I am guessing your SSBC rear rotors have a taller hat section than the 2008 rotors do. Here is a good link that shows what my rotors look like 2008 Ford Mustang - Centric Parts 120.61087 Rear Premium Brake Rotor My only options to remove the spacers would be grind my wheels\calipers or...

    Geetings form Newbie

    Welcome! Figured I would chime in since my winter beater is a 1999 5.0 Explorer. The engine makes about 215 horsepower and gets about 15 mpg in a 4500 lb vehicle. The explorer feels quite slow but the same engine in a lot lighter vehicle would be more fun. The engine would at least need...

    Fix tire rub

    The car always squatted on the previous wheel tire combo as well. I was rubbing with 245 60 14 on 17x6 wheel with 4 1/8 backspace. I had thought something was done to the car to make it sit low in the back but it looks like its just stock spring sag. Does a 5 leaf mid eye sit about the same...

    Parting out complete '89 GT CHEAP!!!

    Do you have the ebrake handle assembly still? If so what is your price? It would be ideal if I could get the convergence bracket as well where it goes from one cable to two. Thanks

    Master Cylinder swap

    Image did not show up. Was it a picture of a prop valve? I will feel safe enough bypassing the dif valve block as I will be installing an ebrake handle.

    Master Cylinder swap

    Thanks for the clarification, if my divider block would have been hooked up to the brake light in the cluster I might have known that I was not even using my rear brakes.

    Master Cylinder swap

    I purchased the proportioning valve that mustang steve sells. Since the part that I circled is also a proportioning valve I should likely remove it. I would then run from the rear bowl of the MC directly to the linelock, and the front bowl of the MC to my new proportioning valve. The new MC...

    Master Cylinder swap

    Have a few questions regarding swapping out the old master cylinder and replacing it with a 2000 v6 MC. I am going from stock 4 wheel drum brakes to 4 wheel 2008 GT disc brakes. First of all, what is the part that I circled in blue? Do I remove it?

    Moog ball joint question

    It took me about all day to figure it out, but the retainer goes over the rubber boot! I am glad to finally be done compressing and decompressing springs :)
