    parts from 88TC?

    Get lower control arms as well, 3/4 inch longer direct bolt on to fox Mustang. With CC plates great add on for handling car rather than just the straight line stuff.

    Looking for opinions on 3.8l SC swap.

    I am guessing we have forgotten Ford own attempt at this same sort of thing. lets see, 390 and it anemic 360 clone, 302 and the ever popular 255, and our own 2.3 Ranger 2.0 turd. All were based on proven powerplants, Ford tried to make a more effeciant alternitive and ended up with less power...

    is this the ignition control switch?

    Yes, you need a new ignition switch. The arrowed pic is the broken/seperated switch. The other pic are of the switch contact slider which fell out of the switch. The white section is supposed to be crimped into the aluminum housing with the black contacts inside to transfer current to the...

    New Problem..

    Heres another bit that will give a strange suspension feel for you to check if the shop that installed the rear suspension control arms did so with car in the air. The bushings have what could be refered to as "memory" meaning they try to stay in the position in which they are installed. They...

If turned slightly to one direction or the other it will want to drift that way. You make a correction and it will...

    squeaky spring

    If in fact it is the "spring" squeaking, there is a good chance it is broken. If not there is likely a build up of dirt/gravel in the lower pocket. Clean it out and see if that helps. I would be more inclined to think the squeak is from the control arm bushings, or the sway bar bushings. You...

    t5 trouble/replacement

    Sound to me like a clutch problem,not a transmission problem. A manual trans will not slip, a clutch will slip. If worn out ,poorly adjusted, it may not completely disengage hence the grind in 2nd. If not properly adjusted it may not be fully engaging causing the slip. Also a damaged, binding...
