    Humming/Moaning noise from front-end???

    Sounds like a bad wheel bearing. But another easy thing to check would be to check your tires to make sure you don't have some un-even wear on them. Un-even wear can make a ton of noise, worse at slow speeds and then kinda goes away when you get above 30 mph. As mentioned before, I hope it's...

    UDPs eating batteries alive

    Sounds like a bad Alternator to me. Simple check as what was mentioned before, check the voltage the alternator is putting to the battery (it should be somewhere around 13.5 - 14 volts). Another trick you can try, is while the car is running, disconnect the positive lead from the battery, if...

    Creaking Front End

    If you find it is the sway bar bushing, the silicon spray method is only a temporary fix, the bushing(s) will have to be replaced. Personally I don't think this sounds like a broken spring. If it were, you would hear that thing clunking/creaking all the time. It could be a bad strut or...

    Creaking Front End

    I see that you have sprayed silicon on all the bushings, but have you done anything with the sway bar bushings, the ones where the bar attaches to the frame (at the engine-side of the radiator support)? I have seen several Ford Explorers where this bushing will make a ton of noise and you can...

    Post your exhaust sound clips and list the combo

    Here are my exhaust sound clips. I was not happy when I went to the O/R H-pipe (way to raspy!!). Once I installed the resonators, the sound became much better. I have had lots of compliments, "that's what a Mustang should sound like".:nice: Stock Manifolds, Pypes O/R H-pipe, Pypes M-80...

    Uneven Suspension Problem

    Maybe an adjustable panhard bar would help pull this side down a bit when you shift the centerline of the axle? It's not required, but an adjustable panhard bar is always recommended when you lower the car. And yes, trying to diagnose this if the ground isn't level can leave a person very...

    Error codes (p0420) - possibilities?

    Do you have an Off Road H/X Pipe installed on your car? If you do, I think these codes can come up if you don't get the Rear O2's turned off in your computer program. If you don't, I think I remember hearing that air leaks on the Intake, MAF, couplings, etc, can create DTC's as well.

    Bad Vibration

    So I really hadn't noticed this in the past but it seems to of gotten worse as of lately (maybe I'm just more in tune to it?). When I get up to higher speeds and under heavy acceleration, there is a really bad vibration, almost like a tire is out of balance. The vibration is not in the front...

    OUCH - FX Mustang

    Good eye, I didn't notice that at first but went back and looked at the pics and saw them sticking thru the bottom of the car.

    Brenspeed SCT tune/JLT CAI Impressions

    Yep, I felt the same way when I got mine installed. It took awhile for me to wipe the grin off of my face! And you gotta love the service that you get when working with Brenspeed.:nice:

    OUCH - FX Mustang

    Didn't know if anyone else saw this but all you can saw is "OUCH". I just saw this car in my 5.0 Mag and it looked nice. Guess it's time to take her to the body shop for an alignment, some bondo, and a new convertable top. Hallett/Car FX Mustang flips over after hitting tire wall - Top Speed

    Throttle Body Spacer

    Spend your money on something else. As stated above, "expensive paper weight".

    Off Road X Pipe guys...

    Install some resonators, they will tone it down some, plus take away some of the raspy-ness, which most X-Pipes create.

    Thinking about getting a GT500 Throttle body?

    Information that has been passed on to me in the past, don't waste your money on the throttle body spacer, as it really doesn't add anything other than looks.

    Thinking about getting a GT500 Throttle body?

    FYI - 5.0 Mustang has an article in the recent magazine that shows the HP/Torque gains from installing the GT500 TB/Plate. From what I can tell, this did not add any hp/torque on their application. They did exhaust, CAI, Tune, and the GT500 TB and gained 20 rwhp. If I were you I would go with...
