    front end squeak when turning wheel - rack and pinion?

    I had a squeek from the front end and couldn't figure it out. I finally did. I pulled the rack bolts out one at a time and lightly greased the bolts down the entire length. Stopped my squeek! 'Course my car was 6 months old.

    Simco Lunar Instrument Cluster (99-04 GT)

    They worked just fine in my 04, though I did have to pull the face and needles off and set them according to the digital readout trick on the odometer. If I'm not in the city at night, the glow is a little bright, even on the lowest setting. Wouldn't you need a "t" for both the switch and...

    Best oil filter

    True. IF you use motorcraft filters. Some of the ppl that use K&N filters at ten bucks a pop it would pay to get. 10/150=15. 15*5,000=75,000 Everyone has their own opinion on this topic. No matter what other people say, you're not going to change their minds :p

    Best oil filter

    This might be expensive, but I'm sure it's way better than all of the paper filters, plus you won't ever have to buy another filter! It's the 8400 series Filter I'm going to get a quote for this just to see how much.

    MGW's Shifter

    I got both handles and I used the blue one. The pleather boot doesn't look any different than before. The rubber inner boot fit right over the shifter. They send a silicone gasket to use if you don't want to RTV the shifter to the tranny. The instructions are very clear and precice with...

    MGW's Shifter

    MGW's New Shifter Got it installed this morning. All I can say is what a difference over the Tri-ax!!! No more clicky shifts as with the tri-ax. No tranny whine whatsoever. I used to be able to feel the tranny thru the shift ball, but not anymore. The first thing I noticed when I got out on the...

    pro 5.0 or steeda shifter

    I just installed the MGW shifter today. It replaced my tri-ax that has been on since new(10k miles). The MGW piece is way better and I would recommend that one for anyone looking for a shifter. Shifts are butter smooth and quiet. No tranny noise at all.

    those that have aftermarket hoods

    How did your hood fit when you got it? I got an aftermarket hood and it doesn't line up right. I don't have any more adjustment in the hinges. The guy that made the hood told me to loosen the fender bolts and adjust the fender to the hood? :shrug: ? Is this correct, or am I being told a...

    Air smells from vents

    I found that if I left the vent switch on any setting other that the off position when I turned off the car, the vents started stinkin. I turn off the vent every time I turn off the car and my vents don't stink. :shrug:

    $3000+ to fix squeek

    Just a question here, but wouldn't a bent axle cause more problems than just a squeek? Wouldn't there be binding, severe vibration, ect... along with it?

    Well gee, I'm glad you finally decided to enlighten us with your knowledge. Maybe if you had taken the time to explain this the first time you posted instead of some incoherent quip, I would have been more receptive. I guess we'll see what is going to happen. I'm glad that you've been so...

    Fixed my front end squeeeeeekkkk!!

    This is what I was thinking at first, but I broke a couple of syringes trying to inject the grease. Also, the plastic doesn't like it when you put heated grease into it. As far as using lithium, it might not be the best to use, but it got the job done for now. At least until I can find a...

    I had the usual annoying as hell front end squeek. I was in Lowes today and saw a can of spray white lithium and decided to try it out. Anyways, I took the spray tube and cut one end at an angle then poked it into the boots of both tie rod ends and ball joints. Sprayed the grease into it...

    Steeda hood Q's

    I already gave them a call on thursday. The tech that I spoke to really came off as not believing what I was saying. They said they would give me a call back after checking with some people. Still haven't heard anything from them, must be checking with a lot of people... :notnice: I'll call...
