    Time for a new phone.

    I work for T-Mobile and like someone said earlier, we all have pros and cons. Verizon does have the best network because they are analog however with an analog network you sacrifice security. All those people that listen to scanners for fun can listen to your conversations on an analog...

    So the balljoints are definitely getting replaced...Anything else that I should look at while I'm under there in case the BJ's aren't the problem?

    Weird Squeaking Sound

    Unfortunately I didn't get any tools from it, it was a nice Husky black diamond plate one too. I tried to take it to Home Depot because it had a lifetime guarantee, but they wouldn't swap it out for a good one because I didn't have a receipt. As for the boot, I just figured that the impact...

    Did your sound seem like it was coming from the front of the car?

    Weird Squeaking Sound

    What did you knock around? I should also mention that this has become progressively worse since the night of the impact.

    Weird Squeaking Sound

    Lately whenever I go over bumps and the like I can hear this squeaking sound coming from beneath my car. I can only assume it's suspension related but I have no idea what. Within the past few months I've installed Eibach springs, Koni shocks and struts, and Steeda C/C plates. When I took my...

    #M2320c calipers which banjo bolts?

    Those are just the standard cobra calipers, you should be able to pick up the banjo bolt from a Ford dealership or a parts store. However, all the calipers that PBR produced after 2003 were switched over to a metric thread banjo bolt, so the 10th anniversary banjo bolt might work as well. I'd...

    Rear speaker cover

    Anybody know where I can get a new rear piece that covers the area where the speakers are mounted? I have the grilles that go over the speakers themselves, but the black piece around it is just faded and has a crack and is unsightly. A part number would be nice too.

    Steeda Brake Pins

    I was looking through the Steeda catalog and I saw that they have a replacement pin that holds the caliper in place. If you go to the website and click on "Brakes" it will be towards the bottom of the page. When you look at the description it states that it's not recommended for street use...

    Anyone using UPR Caster Camber Plates ???

    I guess I should have mentioned that I had brand new Koni Sport shocks and struts installed at the same time. Last week I just sprayed WD-40 pretty liberally up into the strut tower and the noise went away for a few days, coincidence probably but worth mentioning anyway.

    Anyone using UPR Caster Camber Plates ???

    I just had some steeda plates installed and since the install there has been a squeaking noise coming from the driver's side whenever I go over bumps. I already checked the ball joints and everything that is located behind the wheel. I can only assume it's the plates. Should I pull the strut...

    Ca you fix a window motor?

    My passenger side window make a high pitched squeal when it goes up and down. I'm just assuming it needs to be lubed somewhere. Any part in the door that I should look at especially close?

    Fix Suspension - can i do it at home?

    I just replaced the front and rear last night. For the rear, you're going to want to use a crescent wrench to hold the spindle and use another wrench to turn the nut on top. Also, when you're working under the car, make sure you don't start pulling towards you so hard that the socket slips off...

    Cars you've owned?

    He thought that it was amazing that a Taurus could have a V8 in it so he decided to take it around the hilly turns of Cincinnati in the rain and went into oncoming traffic and totaled it. Let's talk about how he refused to pay for anything.

    Which pulley kit did u install on ur 94/95 5.0? BBK or March?

    I heard there was an issue with the BBK's finish on the pulleys causing a disruption in the way the belt would turn. Evidently the coating would come off and make the pulleys turn unevenly. I went with some Mac pulleys, they were cheap and definitely work great.

    CC Plate Install

    I figured an air compressor was going to be the easiest solution. I think I'm just going to take it to my friendly neighborhood Ford and see if they will be willing to just loosen it up for me. Once they break it free I know I will be able to do it myself. As far as new struts, I've been...

    CC Plate Install

    I tried putting my caster camber plates on today and I could not for the life of me get the large, center nut that is on top of the shock off. The whole thing just kept turning with the nut. I'm going to put some PB blaster on it and let it sit overnight, but I don't think it's going to help...
