    Alignment issue. Aligned and still pulls HELP

    >>>If it were a caliper, then it would be situation where the rotor and pads would be wearing out on that side...which shouldn't throw a wheel out of alignment...not that quick, anyhow. I'd check the steering rack and inner tie rod ends on that side for any damage. Perhaps the car took a hit or...

    Alignment issue. Aligned and still pulls HELP

    I just bought a 95 SVT this weekend and it had a pull to the right. If you let go of the wheel, it will yank to the right. I thought it had a bad tie rod end and took it in for repair and alignment. Firestone aligned it and told me no parts were needed. I got in the car and there was no...

    Breaking in new clutch

    The burnout gives it just enough grab to center the clutch and set it. That is reallly all you need to do. Then the clutch should grab like honey. Chris

    Breaking in new clutch

    Been doing it for 10 years. Never lost a clutch yet. Think about what you really have to "break in". I have probably replaced 50 clutches in 10 years too. Not all Mustangs, but they all work the same.

    I think im getting screwed on this service bill

    A going rate for Mustang tranny R&R is about $450. You had it done twice. Then you had the gas tank R&R'ed, that was prolly about $250. You should learn to fix your own ride if you don't want those big bills! I have only been to a mechanic once in five years and that was to get my gears set...

    Tranny issues?

    I had a car once that had a fly wheel that had the bolts come loose. I thought that the rod was knocking or something was wrong (BAD). I was 16 and did not know much about cars so I decided learn for myself and took the tranny out. There were two bolts out of six holding the fly wheel in...

    Found a notch. Should I get it for the race car?

    I found an 88 4 banger notch with almost zero cancer. I am desiring to pull the motor, put in a DSS 331 and a TKO, Full roll cage, 12 psi boost SC and other things. Is it worth the trouble to get the car for $800 bucks when it needs so much? The interior and paint is pretty much trashed but...

    clutch cable probs

    I would have to say that you have something mis aligned. Check the quadrent and the routing. You may have to replace your quadrent on the pedals. If you just did that, that could be your problem if it is on crooked. Those are my gueses.

    power steering pump install

    I changed mine twice with remans before buying a used OEM. The oem actually worked. The very first one I bought was an autozone one and the lower nipple did not fit my 95 so I was forced to pay $50 more and go somewhere else to get the right pump. The pulley removal/installation is easy if...

    HOW MUCH POWER LOST WITH BAD 02 SENSOR

    MPG increase will be small but we all drive 5.0's so who is concerned with gas mileage? Just replace it and see! You won't have any power loss, if anything your computer will compensate for it and map to default settings for the fuel table. I pulled my engine light because I am sick of...

    o2 sensor problem?

    Did you pull any plug to look for fouling? If you just replaced the 02 sensors, they can't be messed up like you explain after 2 days. I think you have something else causing a rich fault. Check the vacuum line on the top of the fuel pressure regulator, see if it has fuel. If it does, the...

    Installed Wazee's Power Steering Pulley [PICS]

    I have had wear problems with that idler pully though. I bought both the idler and PS pulley and love the look over stock. But the wear on the idler is getting so bad that I will have to replace it because it squeels now. I have had my pullies for about a year + now and love them. They are a...

    Question for those who know more than me about Mass air meters

    I have a 95 GT that I am soon to add GT-40 heads, Cobra intake, 65mm tb and 24# injectors. My question is, can I run a MAF that would fit a 93 and before vs a 94-95. I don't see any reason why I could not use an older model maf as long as it is calib for 24# injectors. I am just having a hard...

    anyone painted the cowl cover thing?

    94SC50, Do you paint your own car? You sure paint alot. I thought I was a painting maniac but now I am going to be forced to remove all my vert trim and wiper cowl and paint it since yours looks super nice (prolly the mirrors too). I would like to see a shot of a painted cowl. I guess I...
