    Appreciate that and was thinking along those lines. Just want to order parts ahead so I'm not waiting for UPS to show up.

    96 Mustang GT vert. Had some mods when I bought it. What do I do now?

    I don't mind verts. Gives you a niche market if you spend the money right. Been sitting on this one for awhile. Rolling again and already getting some offers. Just another view.

    Bumpsteer Ends

    Think you may be on to something. I decided to "switch" sides with the bump steers just for grins. While there, I added some shorter end links to balance out the stabalizer bar (should have no connection but thought to mention). Put her under load and problem still exists but not as bad...

    Bumpsteer Ends

    Thanks. Good info as I did not realize they moved. I would probably flatten the fitting trying to tighten. :nono:

    Bumpsteer Ends

    If I understand you correctly you are asking for the distance between the spindle bottom and the top of the rod end. Not sure but will measure. Put together according to Maximum Motorsports "starting point" instructions. Used tapered bolt with .48" top spacer, rod end, ,24", .12", .06", .06"...

    Bumpsteer Ends

    Thanks for the input. We found that the front seal on the PS pump has small leak so I ordered a reconditioned to replace. I will most likely replace the line's while I'm at it. Flush it. Bleed it (did the above and got some bubbles but not much). I'm hoping it's just a BUNCH of air or...

    Bumpsteer Ends

    Hard hard should these be to rotate with a bolt through by hand? Trying to isolate a "shuddering" or "binding" during steering at idle under load. I have to really muscle it to move by hand. BTW - 1990 GT Vert 5.0 T5. Just replaced entire front suspension (parts/bushings) and inner/outer...

    Front Suspension Torque List

    1990 GT Vert (Manual). Here's picture before I got the PITA lower arm to break free. Ready to to put her front end back together. I went as far as rack bushings so want to make sure I have my torque specs right or if I'm missing anything. It's my understanding that no lock tight is...

    Valve Spring Application

    1990 GT Vert, 5 speed, 125k. About to machine a pair of GT40 heads to top off a stock 5.0 bottom. Sunday family driver rarely sees redline. :rlaugh: I decided not to invest in 1.7rr's as the gain would be minimal. SO staying with the stock 1.6 and I will replace the valve seats, have the...

    Project "CMEXLR8"

    In South Texas? :eek: Thanks all. Just looked and the standard sonnectors came with the car. Going to off load those and get some full length from MM. When I get the 3.73's in (not attempting myself after researching) should I do a lok overhaul while they're in there? Remember only 125K...
