    Rear shock mount question

    Hey guys. I'm looking for the rubber bushings (?) that sit inside the rear shock mounts, around the top of the shock. Am I making any sense here? I'm trying to picture what it looks like, but it's been about a year since I did the conversion, and new shocks, and I'm having trouble remembering...

    Yet another ballast option....

    This seems a little ridiculous. The sad part is, eBay shows it as 12 sold, 7 still available. Who the hell would spend that kind of money on one of these things? Also, it says price reduced. What the hell was the cost before?!

    Yet another general front end squeak question

    Hey everyone! So, ever since I got my car, there has been this squeak noise that happens while the car is moving forward. It's not an up and down suspension travel noise (I don't think), but more of a rotational noise. I have replaced front hubs (due to play), all pads and rotors (due to low...

    Interesting ride home! (Don't read if your safety conscious)

    So, I get on 91 Southbound from Greenfield on my way home from work today. Behind me is a guy in a red Envoy Denali, trying to pass me going up the single lane on ramp. He drives off the road, and gets half the truck in the grass, still trying to get around me. We get to the top of the ramp, and...

    August road trip....

    So, my Mother and I are planning a road trip down to Myrtle Beach August 18-23rd. We'll be starting at her home in Providence RI, and taking 95 straight down. Just for the hell of it, we're planning to stop at the Lizard Lick Towing shop on the way down. About 50 miles out of the way, in Wendel...

    Spare tire hardware

    Hey everyone. Today at work, we got a 97 Mustang GT convertible in on trade, and one of the guys in the shop grabbed it to safety check it. While he had it on his lift, I was looking over the car, and remembered that I didn't have any hold down for my spare tire. Later on after he lowered it...

    Odd shudder/stumble

    So tonight I was driving on the highway, in stop and go traffic, and noticed this weird shudder feeling around 35. I thought it was maybe just the right speed for the TC to lock up, or whatever, and thought nothing of it. It then started doing it more often, like when giving it gas. It almost...

    Valve cover gaskets & IMRCs

    Hey everyone. So, my valve cover gaskets are starting to leak, along with the oil pan at a pretty decent rate. I pulled the spark plug covers off, and the thing was covered with oil. I lifted up on a coil, and the boot was soaked, and when removing it from the top of the plug, oil was dripping...

    Fuel door release question

    Hey guys. So a few hours ago, I pull up to the pump, hit the button on the door, hear the actuator, get out, and the door isn't open. Go back to the door, hit the button, hear it again, and this time its open. What ever. Put $65 worth of gas in, close the door, it won't latch shut. I messed with...

    Rear caliper question....

    Hey guys. So today after work, I did front and rear pads and rotors on the car. All went well until I got to the RR. Caliper is seized and pins are seized into the bracket. Whatever, threw the new rotor on with the old pads for a few days. I found that Napa has semi loaded calipers, and the...

    Question about mounting equipment inside the car

    Hey everyone. Just picked up a rechargeable Streamlight Stinger LED flashlight yesterday. It comes with a mountable charger, and instructions to tap it into an always hot 12V line. So, I was looking to mount the charger directly where the plastic of the center console ends on the pass side...

    225/60/16 steel wheel?

    Hey everyone. I just picked up some studded Firestone WinterForces and am looking for a steel wheel of our OEM size, with no luck. I already have the tires, because I just planned on mounting them to the OctaStars, but then thought how much easier it would be to just throw them on a set of...

    Recommended fuel system treatment?

    Hey everyone. I was looking lately for a decent fuel system treatment to dump in the tank. Anyone have any experience using certain brands in our cars? Does Motorcraft make their own additive? Thanks in advance!

    Vanity plate ideas....

    Hey everyone! So, now that Jamie has gotten rid of his Mark, I wanted to keep the BAD LSC plate in the family up here in MA. But I was thinking, there is nothing "bad" about my car so I was wondering what you guys had for ideas for me! I'm up in the wonderful (:rolleyes:) state of Massachusetts...

    All I want is a damn cargo net....

    I know it was an LPO in 97 & 98, but I want one. I have so much random small stuff around in my trunk and I would rather keep my bat (long story) and ice scraper from falling into the crevice at the front of the trunk, and rear seat back. Is the hardware already in place for this, or is...

    OEM compared to aftermarket

    Hey everyone! So, I did a rotation today at work while on lunch, and took a peak at my brakes, since they were starting to pulsate, and there isn't much life left. So, I started pricing out pads and rotors. I work at a Chevy dealership, and used to own a GM vehicle, so I'm used to getting OEM...

    Easy Exit question....

    Hey everyone. So, I decided that I wanted my wheel full out, and full down to drive. Its just more comfortable for me. Anyway, I thought I should turn easy exit back on, so make things a little easier getting in and out. Problem is, my drivers side power seat is messed up. The motor turns, but...

    Getting a new key cut...

    Hey! So, today, I went down the road from my dealership, to the area Ford dealership. I had them cut a key for the Mark. The guy at the parts counter asked me if it had PATS which I told him it did, he put the blank back and grabbed a different one, cut it, charged me $31, and I left. I went...
