    There is a TSB for this that is free if you're still under warranty. They will replace the entire lower control arm with a slightly larger ball joint.

    Speed-o-meter?

    Mine is off too (completely stock). I noticed when I pass those roadside speed checkers, they always display my speed as 3-4 m.p.h. lower than what my speedo is setting at.

    Colors in 2011?

    Appearance pkg. for 2010

    I wasn't crazy about the 2010's until I saw an appearance package today at the dealership. It had the side scoops and rear window louvers which I wasn't thrilled about, BUT, it also has an optional pedestal mount rear spoiler and a huge Boss-like hood scoop that totally transformed the look!

    UCAs LCAs Relocation brackets, questions questions questions...

    You don't need adjustable lowers really; that just adds confusion. An adjustable upper will allow you to correct pinion angle if needed, usually after lowering or adding a one-piece aluminum driveshaft. For these parts I like the J & M design above all others: you can read why on their website...

    Lightweight Driveshaft Recommendations?

    The Axle Exchange is the only one I haven't read complaints on. It seems to be hit and miss with others if they vibrate or not. Alot of people have no problems but there are enough complaints to steer me away from other brands.

    whats louder /more aggressive axle back for 09 mustang gt

    Boom tubes. That low burbling when decelerating is addicting. :rock: No popping, very little drone. Quality is not the greatest but there not in the $500- $800 range either. I paid $319 w/free shipping. Look for discount codes on forums.

    Difference between the years 05-09?

    Walter hit the most important ones, but I would recommend an '08 or '09 because most of the bugs (TSB's) have been worked out of them.
