    Brembo owners, quick pad q'

    I've had some squeeling issues, I've been on the phone with Brembo and also had the vehicle inspected today, but long story short: Car exhibits loud squeel 5-0mph light to light-medium pedal effort. Can remove noise by letting up on pedal and increasing stopping distance considerably (not...

    Noise coming in on Mach460/aftermarket HU

    I've never had this problem before, and I'll start by saying these magical words: I just redid the harness (so I could solder all connections and use shrink wrap, before it was really ghetto). I have a mach 460 with a Alpine 9813 headunit. The mach is being driven off the headunit's 4V...

    Does anyone have a diagram of the steering system?

    Particularly the steering shaft where it passes through the firewall. Think someone was on to something when they mentioned a bearing that's retained at the firewall causing play.

    Overheating still, and new A/C and electrical issue (probably heat related)

    Where to source a steering rack without play?

    So I need to get a new rack, and that's proven to be an issue. The car is daily driven and eventually it will serve as an open track car. I bought an AGR 15:1 high effort/feel rack to replace the worn stocker, just to find the "new" agr unit from summit had the same, if not more, play. I...

    Help me track down what feels like a misfire.

    Under full load/accel, my engine feels like its breaking up. Its not pinging, but you can feel a misfire. Under normal load its ok. Its not air, and I don't think its fuel. When I got wot in 3rd it really just stutters the whole way up. The problem worsens if I bypass my MSD 6A box, and I...

    Just took delivery of my mustang in Scottsdale Az, and after having driven a few other cars for a few weeks (04 audi S4 and 01 Ford Escape), I can no longer tolerate the amount of play in my mustang's steering. Common causes for play in the steering (upon several searches): Worn joint in...

    Taillight wasn't working, now circuit blows fuses constantly

    I've got parking lights, no turn signals and no brake lights. Ive been staring at Ford's wiring diagrams, and I hadn't had a chance to really tear the car down to look for the harness as it travels other than the trunk and under the dash. It started when I had the car painted, just the...

    Vibration (metal/metal) driving me insane!!!

    On the passenger side at the transmission crossover the H pipe for the longtubes sits very very close. All the time I hear metal to metal contact there, and it drives me crazy, especially in traffic. I don't know if the Longtube is sitting higher on that side for any reason, but it really...
