    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wheel loose

    I would jack it up, grab the wheel top and bottom and see how much movement you get that way (Ball Joints, loose strut mount bolts maybe). Grab the wheel left side and right side and see how much movement you get that way (Tie rod ends or rack) If you can get someone else to do those...

    Alignment with bumpsteer kit

    Just did a Steeda bumpsteer kit this past Saturday using a bumpsteer gauge. I have an '01 Cobra with H&R sports dropping it about 1.5". I used a level to set the camber as close to stock as I could, but at the new "lowered" position. If you're just trying to get rid of bumpsteer, you won't need...

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wheel loose

    So the hub is moving with the wheel when you shake it? Does it move up and down or side to side? I'd get a look behind it. Could be bad wheel bearings (you'd hear those big time particularly when cornering). Could be ball joints (they wouldn't make to much noise). Are the bolts at the base of...

    4.10??? 3.73??? BULLITT

    Once it comes off the jack stands gettin' the H&R springs and Tokico shocks, it heads for the shop to get 4.10's. I only use the car for fun on the weekends in the nice weather so I don't much care about the high rpm's on the highway.

I removed it and put some silicone sealant on my finger and kinda rubbed it in to the surface leaving absolutely no...

    wheel spacer questions

    It's not all about the lugs and I said the same thing when I bought mine and here's what happened. I bought the cheap ones and they were hubcentric but the centers where it met my axle was a couple thousanths to small and wouldn't go on the axle so I had to carefully and equally remove that...
