    All kinds of squeaking from wheel area

    seems like this topic may be dead, but I hate it when people figure out their problem and NEVER post the solution! That squeaking... I guarantee you that it is the ball joint(s). The weight transfer up and down on the front end cause pressure and release on the ball joint, as well as while...

    All kinds of squeaking from wheel area

    My 96 Cobra does the exact same thing. When finished braking, coming to a stop; the weight transfer at stop when the front end lifts up theres a loud squeak. Turning the wheel while stationary, or moving, same squeak. This isnt a little hampster, this is loud, and sounds horrible, like metal...

    96 Cobra rims to 05 bullitt rims

    so.... yes they are compatible? okay does that mean I can just bolt em on no prob or do I need spacers? And the 05 rims were aftermarket to begin with and Im not sure what width they are, but my stock wheels are only 17X8 so I dont think they'll look puny at all.

    96 Cobra rims to 05 bullitt rims

    Suspension problem

    My 96 snake is acting up. Over bumps and uneven roads my front suspension is really loud. Loud squeaking that I would think is the front struts. But, when the car is at a stop light/sign, and I turn the wheel, it is REALLY loud. It sounds like a mouse on fire... Now I think it is either my...

    traction bar

    I completely broke my rear traction bar yesterday. I think I bottomed out the CObra and it busted it. By the way I'm not sure if that is what this "MonteCarlo-style" bar is actually called. Its right behind the Rear end and connects at the bottom of the spings on the rear end. I think this...
