I know there is a thread some where. I am going to ATTEMPT to swap the OE quadrant and with a Ford Racing Alum one. I have been having an ongoing situation with the release bearing going out, ie squeaking that I can make stop or get louder by pressing the clutch cable to different points.
Any how a friend told me he ran into the same problem on another fox and found that the cable was the issue. Apparently it was ever so slightly stretched causing the bearing to make slight contact?? Well I did like he said and replaced the cable with an aftermarket one from our local parts house. Well the squeaking stopped as soon as it was hooked up. That was good, but my pedal got hard to press. So after driving I put in another cable thinking the 1st replacement was bad?? It felt a little better but still was very hard. Enough to make it not fun to drive. So as I started to research a bit more, I though I read somewhere that most the time, the quadrant is what causes the issue, I guess by getting out of adjustment, not the cable. Well my OE cable is loooonng gone, so I ordered this Ford Racing one with the alumin quadrant.
I'm going to attempt the install today after lunch here at work. We have lifts So my question is. Is there a thread that walks you through this on the do's and dont's on this job??
