    Tensioner Torque Specs?

    you can't adjust it but if you can see it bouncing around a lot, chances are its worn and you may need a new one. a while back I replaced the pulley to stop a chirp but it came back in a few months and it was glazed again. turns out the tensioner was worn out

    i actually have a few degrees of play in the steering to either side before any movement happens at the wheels and i hate it. i'm thinking it could be the rack itself

    Gt To Cobra Brake Conversion... From Scratch

    calipers, brackets and rotors are the main pieces but you can re-use your old caliper bolts and hoses. that's basically it if i remember right but you might want to get new crush washers to avoid any leaks

    Are my rear shocks worn

    guys, i've been driving the mustang for the first time in a while since my DD is out of commission and i guess i never realized how bad it handled. the rear end is skipping and jumping over rough pavement - more that the typical SRA hop and skip. it also feels like i'm carying a ton of bricks in...

    A little help with these codes please

    sorry i didn't get back to this. i had taken the car to a couple shops and they came up with nothing, so i did my own research and it pointed to the alt like wmburns said. i went ahead and had it tested and it turns out there was a bad diode in the regulator. a new alt fixed the problem

    Just installed my wideband. What should my air/fuel ratio be?

    do you have any other tips on the install? i've had mine sitting around for months and its about time i put it in. did you have to extend any wires and where did you run the +12V and ground wires?

    Lower Ball Joint Issues

    the control arm doesn't look damaged to me. if anything, you need new bushings. installing the ball joints shouldn't be too hard, i have a pair gathering dust but i don't have the press or a pickle fork to do the install

    Squealing

    i had a glazed belt and tensioner pulley that squealed like a pig, but i only found it after changing everything else >.< since you already changed every other pulley, it could be the belt itself or even the clutch pulley
