    Suspension Lower Ball Joints

    Two weeks ago I had my Ford dealer tell me the exact same thing during an oil change, on my 2007 GT with 18K miles! I took it to a Mustang shop, they lifted it up and said they have no idea what the dealer was talking about. Didn't see any play. Needless to say, I doubt I'll be going back to...

    Amateur Insurance question

    Using progressive.com or esurance.com will let you gauge the difference between the two cars. Just make sure that all of the other variables are the same, and it will at least show you a ballpark % increase or decrease even if the total premium doesn't match what you're paying. I lived on...

    It happened, got in an accident with the 'Stang.

    The Explorer that pulled in front of me ended up on its roof. I walked away with no injuries and played 3 hockey games later that day. Everyone else involved went to the hospital. Convinced me to get another.

    Going to the dealer tomorrow

    I got mine last month for 1200 below invoice, but that was with a pre-negotiated deal through my bank. Not sure what I would have gotten otherwise.

    07 Stang on Horsepower TV now

    They didn't actually put the goodies in yet. Got them back from the machine shop and said tune in next time for the install and other mods.

    Don't understand!

    Interesting. What sort of Garmin? My girlfriend has one of the cheaper models that is designed to sit on a car windshield. I don't know what accuracy it claims, but just in watching it, I figured it wasn't that useful. Seemed to update too infrequently and seemed sporadic.

    Don't understand!

    Haha well if you are doing the speed limit, I would be passing or tailgating you as well. It seems to me like GPS wouldn't be accurate enough for speeds in cars because of any slight delay or tranmission errors in communicating with the satelittes. Seems like the most accurate measure would...

    Don't understand!

    Is GPS more accurate than the speedo?

    Don't understand!

    2000 and 2005 have different transmissions, and i would assume different final drive ratio, although I could be wrong. Seems weird to me that the 2000 and 2005 were the same. Could just be that the factory instruments aren't accurate enough to tell?

    Looking for info

    Are there any sites with good write-ups on the systems of the 2005+ mustangs? I just graduated from my wrecked 2000 to a 07 GT and am curious about the differences. Mostly interested in the changes to the suspension setup and engine. Thanks for any help.

    I'm Baaaaack

    June 2nd: June 12: 2007 Alloy GT. 2000 Mustang held up so well in the accident, had to give Ford another go. I'd expect I'll be hanging out here a lot for the months to come. Don't have a camera, but should get pictures shortly.

    R.I.P.

    His fault. I was going straight through the intersection on green. He was making the left from the main road in front of me on a solid green and didn't see me coming. There were a few witnesses and it was pretty obvious what happened. Officer said he was writing the report with him at...

    R.I.P.

    Any suggestions on shopping for Cobras? They don't turn up daily on autotrader like GTs.

    R.I.P.

    I was probably doing 50 at impact because I had slowed down approaching the intersection. There was a box truck making a U-turn that blocked the vision of the yield on green left turn lane where the explorer came from. I could see coming up to it that it was just a recipe for trouble.....yep...

    R.I.P.

    I was the driver and have nothing but a sore neck. My passenger has a bruised knee. Ford definitely earned a loyal customer. The explorer that pulled out in front of me ended up on it's roof, and the two people inside were injured, but it didn't seem to be anything too severe. I haven't...

    Transmission problem

    I think there is over 150k on the truck, but I'm not positive. When I was looking under the car to try and figure out where the noise was coming from, I was using a broomstick to try and feel parts for vibration. (very scientific) The trans didn't feel like it was vibrating or moving any...
