    Rear End Noise (Whining)

    Did they change the lower control arms? It shouldn't whine at all although from what you're saying, it's less of a whine than a rubbing sound. Check the handbrake cables aren't caught on something. It could be something as simple as the wheels rubbing on the arches or inner wheel well as...

    Problems with LCA

    I wonder if you did what I did with my Metcos? I figured since you had to grease the bushings, I'd grease the faces of the poly bushes so they would articulate better. Couldn't have done a worse thing. The arms have to be installed dry as a bone and then greased afterwards so the control arm...

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Mine shakes. Hard to close. 05 car. I'm considering fitting the strip of rubber you can get for Corvette C5's just under the bonnet lip to stop tha air coming in there.

    05 GT Mustang. Engine Cover traps heat?

    Got mine from MidWest technologies. It's great. I have a supercharger and believe me, if heat was an issue, I'd know about it. Holden and other manufacturers put huge covers over their V8s. Next to your manifolds, it is inconsequential.

    Does adding 18 inch wheels require suspension tune?

    The suspension rate may be changed to take into account the extra weight of the 18" wheels but I can't see Ford spending too much moneyy doing that. Possibly might change the springs but again, seems to be overkill.

    ????????(BMR SUSPENSION PRODUCTS)??????????

    Good stuff but in my experience prone to seizing up. Had a Panhard bar on my '98 Z28 that I couldn't shift. It was badly designed too as the locking nuts were in a place you couldn't get a spanner on although they've since changed the design to a mid-position adjuster.

    Fuel Fill Problem Isn't Resolved On 2007's

    In the Uk, we use TOTAL gas stations. they don't have the sensitive gas nozzles. For those who don't appreciate the problem, the design of the fuel tank is like a pair of saddlebags. There is a good reason for this. It keeps the weight of the fuel nearer the centre of the car for better...

    Hurst Comp/Plus Short Throw Shifter

    Not sure what you're referring to. Mine doesn't rattle at all. Here's my install, see if you can see the part you're refering to. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2177534/6

    ramps for oil changing - why? how?

    Matter of how you do it. The main thing is loosening the sump plug for which you need leverage hence height. Once it's loose, you can park the front wheels on a pair of bricks which should be enough to get a bowl under. The sump plug is at the back of the sump anyway so it will be the lowest point.

    GT-500 = Boat

    Why not, they did with the SN95. It took them until 2002 to come up with a car faster than a Camaro SS and my guess is that had the Camaro continued, it would have got the LS6 or LS2. The point is it's not just performance, it's packaging and marketing. After all, the Camaro didn't do Mustang...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    Aren't people forgetting the WEIGHT factor here too? Stock Mustang: 3450lbs GT500: An enormous 3920lbs Saleen Extreme: 3550lbs Where the hell does all that weight come from?

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    As I've said, the 9" rim is just about perfect for the 275 but a 9.5" wouldn't be too wide. Keeping the rolling radius is the target irrespective of what sizes you use although I prefer the consistency of the same profile front and rear and prefer the 35 for tire control (the 55 profile on...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    I agree. I might go for an 8.5" rim for a 255 but 8 is fine. I agree with bigcat about the rear tires. I had 275's on 9" rims on my Z28 and they were fine. I've tried to get 275's on 10.5" rims this time and it's definitely a stretch (the current drifting look...LOL) so I'll be increasing it to...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    1) Going from 235/55 x 17 mustang tires to 275/45 x 18 gives a maximum of 2mph error. http://www.tyretraders.com/index2.html?lmd=38658.568646 2) The reason is simple - steering effort and steering deflection. The rear end only has to deal with outright grip so wide tires and wheels are the...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    The 275 is the width of the tire in mm The 40 is the height of the sidewall of the tire expressed as a percentage of the width so the 40 means 40% of 275 and a 45 is 45% of the width. The letter is the maximum speed rating of the tire so for your Mustang you need a Z or W. You can't really have...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Personally I would never fit a wheel that wasn't recommended for the application. If they say it fits, it has to fit and if it causes any problems, you can send them back. 255/45's are perfect and are roughly the same rolling radius as the stock wheels. There are similar designs to this...
