    RUSTY Rear Axle on the New Mustang GAG!

    I bend down on both knees to look under the rear of a New 2010 Mustang GT and, sure enough, the straight axle is covered in RED RUST. Every inch of it. No paint whatsoever. This is a NEW car and it sure is dissapointing to see that (and this is in Cali). Good golly, you think Ford would...

    I'm throwin' 94 and it's not MPH!

    My 89 GT is not running so well in the idle departiment. I checked the codes and came up with a 94-air diverter solenoid and a 44 Thermactor air system problem. I did a search but still am befuddled as to where/what these parts are and where to look for them. I'm thinking its on the passenger...

    Borla for a '89 GT?

    Hey all, Does anyone have a picture of a Borla cat back exhaust on a 5.0 GT they could share with me? I need the picture from near the rear of the car. I'm concerned about the fitment as I recall a friend having this system and the Right muffler seemed to hang down and I don't think...

    Front Wheel Bearing Dust Cap

    ARRRRGGGHHHH! I'm having a heck of a time installing some new front wheel bearing DUST CAPS on my stock GT. My old ones were leaving several small lines of grease on the wheel. What is the trick to putting these babies on? They seem to be slightly too large but I know they are built...

    I have 325,000 miles on my front spindles. . . . . .

    . . . . and I cannot cure a "loose" wheel clunk type noise on both sides of the car. Front bearings, races, rotors, grease are all new. So are the brake caliper sleeves. With the front in the air, I can shake/twist the wheel/tire at the 9 and 3 o'clock position and get no noise. At the 12...

    Front Brake Gurus: Enter Please!

    I got it jacked up and the front wheels off. Should I be able to move my front brake caliper(s) with my hand and make it rattle a bit? ? They both seem to do it. Or is this normal? I haven't noticed and I have done 3 brake jobs on this car since new. I have a LOT of weird banging going on...

    Front Passenger Wheel Loose?

    I did a search and "no joy". I have been getting a lot of popping noise from the front passenger wheel on my '89 GT. I jack it up and the wheel seems "loose". Lug nuts are tight so I figure it's just a loose bearing. I attempt to tighten it a little and it is still loose. I take the...

    Offset Steering Rack Bushings?

    Okay, I did a search. The offset steering rack bushings are meant to "raise" (holes on top) or "lower" the power steering rack on a lowered (shorter springs) 89 Mustang GT? Thank you in advance.

    Anyone remember "Charlie's Mustangs"?

    I was cleaning my '89 Mustang GT (293,000 original miles), that I purchased new, and remember Charlie Bruno of "Charlie's Mustangs" in San Jose installing my Global West subframe connectors. I took a day off from work and drove from Sacremento to San Jose (about 2.5 hours or so) to have him...

    Change Those Oxygen Sensors!

    Change out those oxygen sensors every 50,000 miles. I had been living with a bad one for awhile and didn't realize it. Gradual performance loss to the point of me saying WTF is going on with this car? Just trying to help. Have a good day.

    Now, . . I have done it.

    I replaced my fuel filter last night and am now having second thoughts as to the flow direction and whether I installed it correctly. Word to self: Install new brain. Can someone tell me if I am laying underneath the car with my head looking up at the differential and my feet pointing...

    Engine and Trans MADE IN Germany and France?

    I get up at the crack of dawn here in Cali to look at the '05 Stang before the sales guys drag themselves into work. I was suprised to see that the V6 Mustang's engine is made in GERMANY and that the auto transmission was made in FRANCE. "Help me, Mr Wizard" I guess I had never read that...

    It's Official!

    Ford has run out of ideas! Ford's slogan of "Ford Has a Better Idea" needs to be modified to "Ford Has Run Out of Ideas". Retro Thunderbird, Retro Ford GT, Retro Mustang to name just a few. I guess if they cannot move forward, they can slam it in reverse, and gain alot of speed. Sorry, I was...
