    Lower control arm/drive train noise?

    The upper arms are the OEM arms. The lowers I bought from Stangsuspension.com, their brand. They have adjustable spring perches for height. The bushings on the uppers of course are the rubber original bushings, they still look new. The lowers have poly bushings, I think they are...

    Lower control arm/drive train noise?

    :lol: I wish..... The noise I have is a clunk or a pop sound....like you might expect from a bad u-joint, noise comes from the rear of the car. I just had the diff. gone through, gears setup and bearings replaced. This made no improvement. I am really out of ideas. If I am really...

    Lower control arm/drive train noise?

    I installed new lower control arms last year, these have the polyurethane bushings in them. I am wondering if the solid/rigid poly bushings could be making "normal" drive train/rear end noises more apparent, the OEM control arms had rubber bushings which I know don't trasmit noise like the poly...

    Rear end work, hours labor?

    OK.....so I had the car in the shop and the end result is really pissing me off. This is why I normally never take my car in to a shop. Basically the shop found one wheel bearing that was bad and a bad pinion bearing. They also noticed the gear backlash was WAY out of tolerance. All of this...

    Rear end work, hours labor?

    I finally gave up trying to figure out the issues/noise that I had in my rear end so I took it to a shop.... How many hours labor is involved in a complete rearend bearing swap, axels and pinion bearings. Gear backlash was found way out of tolerance by this shop, which I had suspected. Just...

    Looking to Change Coil Springs Need Advice

    Ford B springs are a progressive rate spring, these are the least harsh spring from Ford Racing. My ride quality is very good with these springs, are you sure you have the Bs?? Have you changed your struts and shocks, I would try that first if you have not and see how you like it. Tokico...

    Rear end noise, see video.

    Need help with rear end noise, I can hear a "thunk" type noise when I take off from a stop.....not all the time but enough to be annoying. Sounds like a bad U-joint but the U-joints check out good. I opened up the diff. to look inside, check out my video. I am not sure how much play there...

    How are the winter projects coming?

    Would you trust this loser with your winter project....?? I would get more done if SOMEONE would layoff with the camera and turn down that damn music. Wait a minute....those hands are far too clean. :rlaugh:

    Decided on flywheel now the clutch...

    I wish I had a lift.....that would make things soooo much easier. I was actually considering getting a lift, their prices are not too bad. But I don't really have the room for one, that would mean kicking my daily driver outside. At least I have a heated garage to work in, otherwise I would...

    Decided on flywheel now the clutch...

    Give it a shot and let me know how it works with heavy abuse, its only 180 bucks......lots of work though. This was my first clutch installation and I don't want to hurt it.....just yet, so I'll be driving like a grandma for awhile. Actually the car needs to go right back under the knife, time...

    Decided on flywheel now the clutch...

    Not sure how well it will hold up with heavy track use.... Its rated for 450hp on their site, but its only one step up from their OEM replacement. 30% more clamping force, organic disk. The next step up is rated for 550hp. The main reason I bought it is because it came in a kit from late...

    300hp V6! 30MPG!!!

    Thats an impressive V6....:nice: Engineering hard at work. I have mixed feelings about this....but in reality I know there are 4 cyclinder cars out there that make more power than I do. At least we are not still stuck in the '70s and '80s, pathetic years for horsepower. My old '89 RS camaro...

    '94 Cobra intake purchase

    According to the Tmoss porting page, the stock Cobra flows between 205-210. The cobra intake can be ported to support a 250 flow rate head, So I think there would be some benefit there. :shrug:

    '94 Cobra intake purchase

    I already got a quote from Tmoss for the porting work, so apparently he is still working. I just need to clean up the intake a little and ship it off. The throttle body looks like the stock cobra, 60mm or 65mm? I was happy to pay 190 for all this locally, I had seen them on Ebay for more...

    '94 Cobra intake purchase

    I picked up a '94 Cobra intake, upper, lower and throttle body today. Got the whole setup for 190$. Its in excellent condition, protected under a thick coating of dust....sitting on a shelf for 2 years. Have contacted Tmoss with regard to lower porting work, I will likely go this route...

    Flywheel help...

    I don't think the dowel pin issue was that big of a deal after all.....Just the ends were deformed from the install. I used some sand paper and did some material removal on the ends, should not affect alignment because where it normally sits on the pins was not affected by my brute force dowel...
