    LCA install problems

    I removed the sway bar and replaced each LCA seperately to avoid this scenerio, although I have heard of many that have done it that way. I'm affraid your gonna have to use "main strength & akwardness" and a jack or two to relocate it. Good Luck. GT

    Hp ratings for cars... new or old

    Before '71 they were rated as "gross HP". This meant under controlled atmospheric conditions, at the flywheel w/o any accessories such as alt., water pump, etc. '71+ and currently they are rated as "net HP". This is under controlled atmospheric conditions, with the forementioned...

    Check engine light??

    Time to read some codes. If it threw a code concerning the EGR or the evap. canister and it's control solenoids/valves, you won't feel as much as a sputter. GT

    Any replacements for a manifold intake for a 98 Mustang GT besides plastic?

    Thats a pretty tall order. Dorman makes a real good '96 thru '98 plastic replacement w/ the aluminum X-over and reinforced plastic in crack prone areas but, nearly all the aftermarkets are for the "sweetheart" '99+ Windsor & Romeo versions. You could use a $500 aluminum PI or a '99+ plastic...

    Rear end rocks side to side?

    2 words..... Panhard Rod. Should have been factory equipment on every Mustang since '79. They are sloppy back there with OEM or aftermarket LCA's. Hell, even an old 307 Chevy Malibu had one off the assembly line. :nonono: GT

    Went to the track last night CEL came on

    You may consider replacing the 6" long "Boots" on each COP assembly. These boots can be purchased from O'Reilly's for about $3 each. Each pkg. includes a boot and the internal spring that connects the coil to the plug. I had a miss in my daughters '00 Taurus. Replaced all 6 and problem...

    flushed the coolant, now what?

    There are coolant drain plugs (1 each side) to be opened about 1" above the oil pan rail. You have to drain the RAD, the "Burp Bottle" and the block to really get it all out. Remove the burp bottle and use a small amount of cat litter w/ water shaken briskly in the burp bottle will get...

    Wheel opinions please

    A set of repo '93 Cobra wheels/tires would look killer! But I know, more money than needs to be spent. GT

    clutch problems

    I have the original OEM cable (163K) with a Fiore Racing quad & firewall adjuster. I adjusted it upon installation 3 yrs. ago. Adjustment and operation is still flawless! Installation/adjustment time: 45 min. GT

    68 P/S Pitman arm work on Manual Conversion?

    I did this conversion on my '66 coupe years ago. I replaced only the drag link and tie rod ends with a manual assembly from a local Mustang parts supplier. It worked flawlessly. No issues. GT

    Balance issue

    Also, are your new rims hub centric? If not, they will always be a balancing nightmare. GT

    Am I detonating?

    I'm not knocking the toluene at all. (No pun intended) I would suggest cleaning the MAF sensor and maybe replacing the O2 sensors. Reset the ECM and trying it again. I had already replaced my O2's and was still getting a very slight ping on regular unleaded. After cleaning the MAF the...

    2003 4.6 Rear end gears

    This may not be so farfetched. What I think he's getting at is after a gear change the ECM's fuel curve needs to be "remapped" to get the most out of the ratio change. GT

    You'll have to work with the other end. Get yourself a steering wheel puller and a clock spring. GT

    Toxic Fumes Coming thru Vents W/ AC On?

    Have you spotted any cat paw prints on your car? One could have pissed down in through the cowl vent..... You might sniff around the vents to see and then maybe pour hot soapy water into them to kinda wash it out. GT
