So i just put all this money into my mustang. I have noticed now that the car has been running hott.. normal but almost to where it wants to over heat its still doing the stalling thing. And i still need a new powersteering pump so i bought a new pump, thermostat, and pick up sensor for the distributor. And its all getting installed on monday. That will hopefully take care of everything running wise now i took it out tonight with my new rims and everything they were just balanced and stuff but my steering wheel shakes as i drive its really annoying. And when i turn the wheel one way when im sitting there you can hear it click.

The other way it doesnt click and the one way it does. What could this be? I dont know if i need an alighnment now with the new wheels or i need a ball joint or something. I am kind of holding off because im going to be doing my suspension soon and i will need an alignment done then and new balljoints. If i didnt love these cars so much i would rip my hair out. Im trying to afford a ring to ask my g/f of 6 years to marry me and the mustang is interfeering a little lol.
 
The clicking is the CV joints.




:rolleyes:

Can you see any carnage from the wheels or tires hitting something? Steering rack limiters will help you in a couple ways if so. They will limit the travel if you click and hit something at full turn.
The secondary benefit is that the rack limiters kinda look like rings. You can put a left over one on your girl's finger. :D

Good luck with both endeavors bud.
 
If that indeed fits your issue (I have no idea - it was just an idea to help if clicking only happens at full lock), they are but a couple of dollars and can be purchased from the dealership or a resto house.

Here's a thread about it (it's a fox thread because honestly, I'm not even sure if we use rack limiters from the factory on 94-95's):
