    "No Leak" turned my PS Fluid to water!

    I've had a leak for a while now but never needed more than a couple ounces every 2-3 months, until recently. I'm going to swap out to a new rack and some new lines soon but I needed to get through a few weeks and thought I'd give a stop leak type product a try. So I buy "No Leak Power Steering...

    Is the A/C Evaporator-->Reciever/Dryer line 3/4"

    Is the A/C Evaporator-->Reciever/Dryer line 3/4"? I was hoping someone with a set of quick disconnect tools could check something out on their a/c system for me; doesn't require actually removing any lines, just placing a quick disconnect tool to check the size of a line: I need to get a new...

    Rear banjo bolt torque spec?

    I normally just crank them tight but I currently have a leaking crush washer and the bolt its already pretty tight. I want to see if I'm at max spec or if I can go tighter to see if it seals up. Anyone have this spec? It's an 98 cobra caliper btw... thanks

    03 IRS: Speed sensitive 'clunking'

    Ok, the quick rundown. Got an 03 Cobra IRS from ebay for my 88 Thunderbird. The owner had 3.90's in it but said he'd put 3.55's back in it for me; he also said it was just rebuilt with a 'master rebuild kit'. The guy claimed he worked at a big speed shop, outfitting cars for drag racing and...

    No one lists ball joints or caste nuts for 03 IRS

    No one lists tie-rod ends for an 03 IRS....?!? I'm finally getting ready to put the 03 IRS in my thunderbird but I need castle nuts. Doesn't seem like anyone lists tie-rod ends or many parts for the IRS at all. Tried autozone, rock, kragen, napa... Anyone have any idea where I can get these...

    San Diego 'stangs with manual steering...

    I'm looking for someone in San Diego that has a flaming river manual rack. I'm considering one but I'd really like to see how tough 0 mph steering is (i do a lot of 'pre-turning' u-turns and I like my car to have some ease to it). So, I was wondering if someone with a Flaming River manual rack...

    My 89 T5 input shaft compared to 02 input shaft

    I know the input shaft lengths were changed at one point. I'm just trying to figure out how my 89 T5 transmission compares to a 2002 v6 T5. thanks

    Companion flange swap, how to?

    I've searched everywhere and I can't find good directions on swapping an 8.8 companion flange. I know there is some kind of preload to check first (don't know how though) and that the flange needs to be removed with a puller. I just need to swap my original 8.8 flange onto my 03 cobra irs...

    Suddenly throwing 33, 63, 87 and 96

    So, this morning I went out to make some adjustments to my POS bbk h-pipe (hangs extremely low). The only other thing I touched was the passenger side o2 sensor (removed to get at h-pipe nut at header and then replaced). So later, I take it for a drive and all of a sudden, it has a tiny...

    Replace 03 IRS axel bearing without a press?? Gonna reuse this thread for the next bearing question: Can this bearing be removed and installed without a press? Perhaps a balljoint type tool could work? Anyone have experience? OLD QUESTION: Ok, so I just bought an 03 IRS for my...

    v6/GT brakes bolt onto 03 IRS?

    Sounds strange, I know. But it's for a swap, into my 88 thunderbird. I already have 98 gt brakes and the IRS I'm looking at comes with no brakes. The guy selling it seems to think they won't bolt up, but if they are interchangeable on the solid axel, why not the IRS? thanks

    Which heater hose feeds the heter core?

    Which heater hose feeds the heater core? I am not quite done with my A/C so in the meantime, I want to put a manual cut-off valve in the heater core feed to keep some heat out of the car. I'm assuming it's NOT the line that screws into/dumps into the front of the upper intake, but I wanted to...

    Trans mount to trans bolt size?

    I was going over some things on the car and realized one of the two bolts holding the transmission to the mount is missing. I was about to pull the other one to take to the hardware store but remembered that the 5.0 + T5 was a tight fit in the 'bird (as far as getting the trans/x-mem in place)...

    How do you torque a-arm nuts??

    They are on the inside of the arms. How can you possibly get a torque wrench in there? I can easily get to the bolts on the outside but I don't think that'd be as accurate...

    04 Mach 1 column for my fox... no keys!

    I just got an 04 Mach 1 column for the SN interior swap in my 88 Thunderbird. Problem is I found out there were no keys included. I was told to just swap in my stock tumbler, but now I'm reading that you can't get the tumbler out with no key without risking damage to the column. What can I...

    Expedition wheel on SN column?

    Will an Expedition steering wheel (03+) bolt onto a 2002 SN column? I'm doing a SN swap in my thunderbird and I want to wire the audio buttons up to my in-car computer. Will it physically bolt on to the column properly?
