I recently replaced those. And I remember what that sound was like. It made a sound on every bump, and this sound is only when turning. Plus, I just did a visual check since you posted and it looks fine. The others that I replaced were obvious that they were broke. And it felt strange while...

Come to think of it. I believe only the outers were replaced. I only get the noise while turning, too. Not sure how to check that. I didn't see the springs move when the wheels were turning while I was under the car...at least not out of my periph :rolleyes: I think it might be related...

Thanks Jayded for the quick response. If I were to check the control arm bushings, how can I tell if they need replacing (besides, of course, if they're dry rotted and cracked)?

Hey guys, Working with an 87 Notch 5.0 with no suspension mods. While driving at low speeds (anywhere from 5 - 30 mph) I hear a pop kind of sound when I turn left coming from the front end. Sometimes I'll here it when I turn right, but it mostly happens on left turns. And it especially...

Geez, what cause that problem??? Yeah, I really didn't want to mess with the shims either, not to mention I don't have a machinery since I moved outta my home in Jersey... :( And yes, I was able to improve the situation a bit. We'll see the outcome later on in the future. Hopefully nothing...

Ok, well I changed the hardware (return springs & self adjusting kits) and the big noise is gone when I reverse and move forward. :nice: BUT....I notice that when I drive forward and repeatedly hit the brakes (~5 mph) I hear a VERY low clunk in the same drum (I didn't raise the rear and closely...

Yes, I was thinking surface tension....my bad. Thanks :nice:

Well I took the drum off but didn't really see anything peculiar....I mean, one shoe was more worn than the other but not by much by any means. I think what I'll do is just replace the hardware again. Thanks for the bump :nice: I'll be posting back this weakend on the result. Thanks again :)

:stupid: (the arrow is pointing to myself....my bad, guys)

I know it's been a while, but I just wanna follow up on this. I did try this and ever since I've been using acetone and will NEVER stop using it. I tried a few tanks without it afterwards and my MPG decreased dramatically. Also, I took a trip to FL from Jersey with the acetone and I got...

Thanks for the reply :nice: And I think I see where you are going with this. Originally it would only make the noise from switching directions. But after I raised the rear and checked it that way I noticed (now) that it will still make the noise (though less apparent). But the noise is really...

I don't know about anyone else here, but I would TOTALLY take that cobra over my stang (among lots of other choices)!!!! Jesus! 650+ RWHP stock???? It makes me smile knowing someones burning some serious rubber with a stang like that :D :D :D Even though it ain't me :nonono: Man I want one...

Also, the noise was loudest at the right rear drum. Which was also making a squeak sound after letting go of the brakes. I sprayed it with some White Lithium grease and it didn't go away, then tried WD-40 and it went away for a day. Anyway, this couldn't have anything to do with the axle...

I didn't even know they made that..... My dreams have come true :D VERY Nice stang :nice: God I hope to own one in the future!!!

Working on a 1987 LX Notch 5.0, if that makes a difference. Okay, here's the problem: 1. Put my car in reverse while holding the brake...so I'm in reverse but stopped. 2. Start to reverse and hit brakes when I want to stop, that's when I hear the loud noise which sounds like a deep...

Thanks Aaron :nice: Great info! I will DEFINITELY try this starting tonight :D I remember learning about liquid tensile strength in chemistry. Like the example in my text book where water has enough tensile strength to let a pin rest on it if placed carefully. If you add one drop of soap...

Acetone like off the shelf nail cleaner type of acetone??? Some interesting info I found: Acetone Does the mixture create a higher combustion point? Is the combustion greater?

I forgot about this. And I agree, less drag on the motor is definitely key, as it takes less work to produce power...giving you more power :D Plus it does reduce SOME weight. I didn't know there were electric water pumps for stangs??? Are there any for my model? I didn't know that's what that...

I'm sure everyone knows how much gas prices are crapola so I was wondering.... I have an 87 Notchback 5.0 stang and I just put a new Jasper stock motor in it recently. My mods are: Fiberglass hood Full Bassani Exhaust (offroad) K&N Air filter I polished my upper intake (stock intake)...

awesome, thanks 85 coupe Think its a good idea to change it since Im going to change the lower manifold gasket? 133,000 miles on my motor (and is still a beast)
