    Suspension issues

    OK, something has to be up with my car, it just bounces around on bumpy roads way to much. I can tell other drivers are trying to keep their distance from me because of it. I thought it might be the rear shocks so I replaced those, while it helped a little bit it's still not handling normal...

    Shock install question

    Huh, that was pretty easy. Took me 2.5 hours, feels good doing something to your car like that by yourself. It rides alot better now too. Trunk trim wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I already messed around with it before when I installed my tinted taillights so I kinda knew what I was...

    Shock install question

    Oh, I have a torque wrench. Do I need to torque the shocks down, or just do it by hand? If so what should I set it at?

    Shock install question

    About how long would it take to install 2 rear shocks, for someone who has never done this before? I want to install them before work tomorrow (i work 2nd shift).

    Putting it in R while driving

    No noises when going into any gear except for reverse. I THINK there is a quiet noise but it might be nothing.

    Putting it in R while driving

    I didn't hear any grinding when I did it. It locked up right away and the tires squealed. I didn't have my foot on the gas either so that probably helped.

    Putting it in R while driving

    Sadly it's true, I think i'm going to take it in for a drivetrain inspection. Nothing seems to be damaged really, the car shifts into each gear smoothly and quickly, except Reverse it takes almost a second and I think I can hear noises from the rear end, but I don't know if it is just the car...

    Putting it in R while driving

    Hey, let's say theres this guy, who owns a 2001 Mustang GT. One day he was driving along and was coming up to a tunnel and thought to himself, "Hmm, while I'm in this tunnel, I think I shall put it in N so I can rev and hear the engine. That would be swell." So he enters the tunnel and while...

    How long do shocks/springs last?

    I ordered some Bilstein shocks for the rear, they were $88.40 each with free shipping. I figure I'll do the rear shocks this month and next month I'll buy the struts.

    How long do shocks/springs last?

    Ok, i've decided to try to replace the rear shocks on my own. This will be my first time doing anything like this to a car. The most I have done is basic engine tuneups. I found this tutorial by searching on the forums. The author mentions he used Gabriel shocks and that they are pretty good...

    How long do shocks/springs last?

    I also noticed another issue with my car. The rear passenger side wheel sits out about 1 inch further than the one on the driver side. I checked out some other mustangs and it seems that the one on the driver side is correct, so for some reason the passenger side wheel is sticking out an inch...

    How long do shocks/springs last?

    I just drive form school/work and back, never autocrossed or raced, other than accellerating fast in a straight line. I don't speed through turns or anything. The car has had 2 other owners though, so I don't know how they treated it.

    How long do shocks/springs last?

    How many miles do they last? My car is coming up to the 40k mark in miles and the handling seems different. The ride is not as smooth as it used to be, like it will bounce around more on bumps on the road, and the body seems to wiggle from side to side a bit. Could this be some other...

    Mach 460 and cd-rw discs

    Maybe the CD-RW discs don't work, just the CD-R's...?

    Mach 460 and cd-rw discs

    Well these new ones that I recorded with Nero in music format didn't work either so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It says 'Bad Disc' on the head unit. The discs aren't bad, they work on my computer and home stereo.

    Mach 460 and cd-rw discs

    Yeah, must have been the wrong format. I used a burning program I never tried before and didn't see an option to set the format. I just burned a couple cd's with Nero in the music format, i'm gonna try those out on the way to work in a bit.
