    Rear control arm bushings. Is this ideal for a street car?

    Poly bushed tubular UCA's & such are fine for drag racing but, they create too much bind for the street and road race use. MM's website, miracerros.com and others have good reads on this subject. Stick with the FRPP uppers for the street. GT

    Oil, Synthetic Vs Conventional With Boost

    It's not because it's actually thinner. The molecules in the synthetics are of a more consistant size than the conventional oils. You will always use a bit more between oil changes with it. I would stick with the synthetics w/ boost and try a 10W-30/40 weight. GT

    Who's a tire expert???

    Go to tirerack.com. The answers to your questions lie there. Stick with a tire with a treadwear rating of 300 or better and be sure to get an alignment done. Just going from a 16" to a 17" rim will alter your toe-in enough to wear front tires prematurely. Oh, Check the air pressure about once...

    Please help me ... someone whose smart with tire sizes.. your help will finalize my..

    By my calculations, for proper fit & performance a 335mm (13.1") wide tire at the sidewall needs a 11.5" wide rim. Period. How you get there is up to you. GT

    oil question

    Maybe you do have a small gasket issue but, there is also another issue at work here. Have you ever heard that gasoline will leak through a hole that water won't? It's the same for synthetics vs. conventional oils. The molecules in synthetic oils are all of a more consistant size than in a...

    Vibration - 20" Rims to blame? Need Help

    Oh yes, NastyStang113 is right. I forgot. The aftermarket wheels don't have a relief area between the lug holes like the OEM's for the small clips found on the rotor studs for assembly. Removal is necessary. Even still, the Ford products are designed for hub piloted wheels. Just because...

    Squeaking

    Most commonly, it's the idler or tensioner pulley. Same P/N for either and they run about $18 each. Quick replacement. If there are more than 5 or 6 cracks per inch on the belt, replace it while your in there. GT

    Vibration - 20" Rims to blame? Need Help

    Many aftermarket rims are not hub-centric. Most of them are designed to fit many different cars/hub sizes. You may have to contact the rim mfgr. and attemp to get the plastic centering rings for your application. The lugs alone will never center the wheel the same way twice. Personally...

    Power steering whining

    Do not use Type F fluid for the P/S system! That's for '60's & '70's Ford transmissions only. It is a sticky fluid and will dry out seals and may not treat the pump vanes very well either. Flush all that fluid out ASAP and refill with the recommended type. I'm thinkin' a Mercon IV or the...
