    Suspension Odd body flex and suspension issue

    I have tired alot of various not sure what one I'd best. Rear control arms are a giant ordeal as you have to pull the axel to get the bolt holes to line up. Front seem to sit even and honestly rides great I know something is funky with these front springs as far as ride height issue. Also thank...

    Suspension Odd body flex and suspension issue

    I have 89 vert. Very early on I had MM full length subframe connectors installed by a guy and the car was on a lift. Many years later front end is low to where tires rub also suspect Ford Racing springs need replaced. When trying to replace control arms its a STRUGGLE to get things lined up...

    Autometer tach install 12v power neeeded.

    Right, but how would I best accomplish using the fuse box to get my power? I don't have a lot of wiring experience.

    Gt40 Heads Worth The Work?

    I have a chance to get a set of GT40 heads off I think explorer engines for 300 dollars. Now my question is after getting the springs replaced, buying 1.6 rockers etc and possibly getting them ported. Is it worth the effort? I have a stock engine plan to upgrade the intake also. But based on...

    So today I got the sway bar installed and went for a ride around the neighborhood and now no tie rub. Still confused on why my sway bar is so critical vs other foxes?

    K member was taken off to remove oil pan, changed oil system, installed new rack and pinion, starter. Motor mounts. k member was fully disassembled cleaned. And reassembled. Everything else is the same parts that came off. Minus the lower isolators were shot so I did not have them installed...

    Any idea why car would sit a little lower on the front now? The k member was removed to change the oil pan then reinstalled. Could that be why? The tolerance was always close but now un driveable. Or should I just go to stock ride height and say screw it?

    So confirmed the brake shield is not rubbing. So took for small drive and stopped as soon as I heard the rub. Top of the tire is rubbing on the fender. Each side is closer on the street vs my garage.. car must be lower now. It was close before all that work that was done. Doubt it but could...

    I plan to give the brake area a good look as I had not done previously. The dust shield seems like a great point. I did look at the a-arm clearance as I had that issue with a previous rim but I will really check it out now. Thanks again to everyone. I owe my car working over the years to this...

    Lugs are good put on with impact then torqued. I will take the tires off and look at the backing plate... Also actually it was a little low on fluid.... Brake backing plate is a very interesting point. I will pop the tires off look really close. I just gave the brakes a quick glace before.

    Installed New Power Steering Rack, Now Big Tire Rub..

    So I went and turned the wheel one way and got my hand all the way around the tire as much as I could. Tire is a tight fit but still got my hand around as much as I could reach. Did not see any marks to the inner fender well or the tire its self. Now even more confused than ever. Yes when...

    Well I did forget that my k member was off recently for an oil pan change. And replaced the very very leaky rack. Now let me guess k member was not installed correctly?
