    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    Not yet but today I noticed if I get on the brakes a little harder than usual I do feel a slight pulsation in the pedal, but under normal braking it feels fine .. maybe I have a warped rotor after all? Also when inspecting the front rotors I dont see any unusual wear or excessive grooves but...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    I recorded a short audio clip with my phone, Maybe someone might be familiar with the noise? You can especially hear it towards the end of the clip as I'm coming to a stop. The noise towards the end occurs even if I don't touch the brake pedal and let it coast to a stop...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    The rotors & calipers are the originals / stock far as I know, I've never changed them in the last 6 years ive owned the car and there was 1 owner before me, The brake pads are about a year old. The only odd thing I can think of is my front wheels didnt spin very easily with the car jacked up...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    Wow.. changing passenger side bearing didnt help either... it must be coming from the rear end somewhere? I'll have to see what I can figure out tomorrow...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    Nope tires are only a year old and not a whole lot of mileage on them, I just bought another spindle nut and decided to do swap out passenger bearing tonight, may as well get it all over with in 1 day. I'll post results.

    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    Well we thought it was the Driver side bearing but replacing it didn't help, I'm going to try putting the old driver side bearing on passenger side tomorrow and hope that cures it. Is there anything else that could be making noise up front if it turns out not being a bearing issue? Also does...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    I've had a minor wheel bearing noise for the last year and finally decided to change it, the noise got worse over last few weeks I can actually feel vibration on the floorboard & brake pedal as I'm coming to a stop now (vibration even if I don't apply the brakes). The problem is when we jack...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Ac Compressor Clutch Not Kicking On Unless I Jump It.

    Yep exactly those symptoms, I think the idle was erratic because it was trying to kick on the compressor every 2-3 seconds and it would cause the idle to briefly drop each time as well. Changing the switch did the trick tho everything is back to normal.

    2000 Mustang Gt - Ac Compressor Clutch Not Kicking On Unless I Jump It.

    I went ahead and changed the low pressure switch and that fixed it! :) Took about 2 minutes to change. o'reilly's auto parts had it in town for $13 (They list the part as an A/C Clutch Cycle Switch) Its going to be 109-112F here for at least the next 7 days so I fixed it just in time lol...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Ac Compressor Clutch Not Kicking On Unless I Jump It.

    I tested the pressure with an R134a refill bottle that has the pressure gauge already on the hose, it was reading around 45 psi which was inside the Blue portion of the gauge reading (I didn't add any R134a from the bottle) I think that indicates it has plenty of pressure at least for proper...

    2000 Mustang Gt - Ac Compressor Clutch Not Kicking On Unless I Jump It.

    Ok Thanks, I guess its not going to be a cheap repair then. The engine idle is only erratic when I try to run the AC without jumping the AC clutch. When the AC is turned Off the idle is fine.

    2000 Mustang Gt - Ac Compressor Clutch Not Kicking On Unless I Jump It.

    2000 Mustang GT w/ 95K miles, My AC stopped working recently, the AC clutch doesnt turn on and the engine RPM is erratic at idle with the AC dial in any position other than Off or Vent. Friend of mine told me to jump the low pressure switch with a paper clip and sure enough this makes the AC...

    00 Gt, "squeaking" Sound From Motor When Cold?

    Well It was making the noise this morning (seems more likely to occur when its colder outside) and pressing in clutch pedal makes the sound go away completely, the only odd part is the sound goes away altogether once the car warms up. but I guess its safe to say I'm dealing with a bad throwout...

    00 Gt, "squeaking" Sound From Motor When Cold?

    Thanks for the suggestions it didnt make the noise this morning but when it does again ill report back my findings. I searched youtube based on google / forum results and it actually sounds a lot like a failing throwout bearing, but hopefully that's not it.

    00 Gt, "squeaking" Sound From Motor When Cold?

    Recently when I start the car after it's been sitting overnight I can hear a fast paced "squeaking" sound, it's loudest under the motor, I thought it was a loose belt at first but it's not nearly as loud above the engine or near the pulleys. The sound goes away after about 3-4 minutes of...

    00 GT, Random miss after warm up? Runs great otherwise.

    So far it's been running fine since I last put gas in it and I bookmarked the InjectorRX site for future reference (looks like a good deal), As for vacuum leaks that's something i've never actually attempted to locate but from what Ive read around online the easiest (but probably not safest) way...

    00 GT, Random miss after warm up? Runs great otherwise.

    Can you tell a difference in performance when adjusting the tune on a stock motor? Ive been debating on buying one just wish they weren't so expensive lol. For whatever reason I put gas in my car last night and it ran fine all day today without any missing or hesitations.. Not sure what thats...

    00 GT, Random miss after warm up? Runs great otherwise.

    Yep the gap was fine when I pulled new plugs out, The old plugs were Motorcraft Platinum AWSF32P and the new plugs are Motorcraft Platinum AGSF32PM which is the replacement according to Autozone, I asked about the longer threads before buying and they said it wasn't an issue due to the...

    00 GT, Random miss after warm up? Runs great otherwise.

    My 00 GT just broke 90k miles and I decided it was a good time to replace the spark plugs, the old plugs were motorcraft platinum's and they were gapped between .63 to .72 when I pulled them out :eek: so I'm guessing they've been in there for awhile, Perhaps they're the original plugs. I...
