If the shaft broke, you'll more than likely need a new compressor. There really is no such thing as a cheap compressor either, you're probably gonna wind up going with Ford.

If you can get access to a balljoint press you can press them in and out on the car. You can manage with an air hammer and a large deadblow hammer if you are good, but I wouldnt use that method on my car. Otherwise take the arms off like others said, but I'd probably take them to an auto...

It's not the X pipe or the muffler individually. AN X pipe sounds awesome with the right muffler, whereas an H pipe sounds good with the right muffler, mix them up and you get bad. Personally I prefer the smoother sound of an X compared to the crackly, droning, redneck pickup truck sound of an...

Well your only options for your MAC headers are either an offroad prochamber or the offroad X pipe that Brenspeed sells. Noone makes an H pipe for them, and midpipes for stock cars will not work. To answer your other questions, the MAC headers are mid-lenth long tubes, so to speak. Longer...

Violators and an X pipe sound like ass. When I drive with my windows open I try not to get on it at all, and sometimes it's embarrasing lol. The problem is the muffler. Violators are not a good muffler to run with an X. Some mufflers sound good with an H, some good with an X. Running the...

LMAO! To the OP, remove all but the top two cover bolts. Loosen those two. You may need to gently pry on the cover or tap on it to get the seal to break. Let the fluid drain out like this (it will make less of a mess than if you just pull the cover off). Then, remove the last 2 bolts and...

Yeah, all the news papers like to mention that deal about people holding onto their cars and repairing them. I dunno where these people are, because around here it's slow as hell and shops are closing left and right. But despite that, none of the 3 shops I've worked at in the last year would...

the timing chain wedge is available from Ford. The valve spring compressor you can probably use a universal one from Snapon or OTC but the Ford one will be much easier. Overall, this is a little simpler than swapping a cam on a smallblock because you don't have to remove nearly as much stuff...

I still don't think it's a domestic car vs european car thing though. I think it's Ford specifically, because like I said it seems like GMs and Chryslers both have better paint.

great, now the wheels I want from AM are on backorder, AND the SHelby ones are on backorder too lol. I think I'll take the time while they are on backorder to save more money and buy the American Racing ones just to be safe.. I went cheap on my Pypes junk exhaust and regret it, I don't wanna...

There is a thread on this page, about 5 links down, that is on this exact same topic. The general idea I got is that it's a toss-up, plenty of people have had good luck with them, plenty of people have had bad luck with them.

My truck was black, and my Jetta before that was black, and my grand marquis before that was black. So with the exception of my Dart (white, someday Sublime Green) all of my cars have been black. I SWORE I'd never buy another black or near black car again because it is so hard to keep them...

Which one are you talking about, my current setup or my future setup? And do you mean bad as in bad or bad as in good? I have also heard that longtubes quiet the car down a little. As far as I know though the Stingers will be louder than the Violators. Maybe it will even out. We shall see.

I cannot reccomend violators and an offroad X. I know different strokes for different folks, but I think it sounds terrible. I can't WAIT untill I am sure there will be no more snow so I can take off my violators/X and put on my longtubes/x/Stingers.

Yeah I hate to say it, but from what I see GM and Chrysler seem to have higher quality paint. Maybe GM learned from their mistakes with the peely paint of the 80s/early 90s and tries harder now or something. My mom drives her Jeep to indiana every day to work. It's a 2008 Liberty and...

I have a friend that sprayed his driveway with that stuff lol.. If you use it, tape your fenders. It is a bitch to get VHT off of your paint.

damn. seems like a lot of mixed opinions on them. Maybe they've got bad quality control so some are good some are not? I emailed them and asked who makes their wheels and they said Verde, I've never heard of that company.. Soo I dunno what I wanna do now.

Throughout the year that I've owned this car, it seems like if I just look at it crooked a scratch will shopw up. I have never in my life seen a car that is so freaken fragile, it's rediculous. Maybe I just have a color that shows imperfections like a goddamn magnafying glass or something...

Like he said, turn the rear 02s off with a tuner. And it is significantly louder. With the stock H pipe, my violators were quiet enough that in the car you'd hear the underhood noise over them at high RPM. Now, it is obnoxiously loud and borders on annoying. But with a muffler that doesn't...

Who here has wheels from them? Are they good quality or do you have any problems? I'm thinking about buying a set of wheels from them, good idea or no?
