Skud, the heat and bang method works too, just have to find where it rubs on the exhaust and bang it in a bit

I found the joint wore out to fast clunking all the time the ride was no better than stock and often compromised.
I know the installation was right I just don't think it was a benifit on the road.
The stock setup is quite good and will provide a higher level of handeling than most drivers can use.

Man, you mustn't drive hard in the corners then.

I beat the CRAP out of mine in the turns and can't imagine going back to a setup without the PHB. Sure, in a straight line you won't notice a difference, but you surely will in the twisties.

I don't open track the car so no I don't beat it to death.
The street is no place to drive like a jackass.
I do take it to the track for some 1/4 mile fun though.

+1...I love my PHB, & soon i will have the whole torque arm setup on too. Couldnt imagine going back. Fords rear suspension setup is garbage.

Well, the PHB will show some benefits for 1/4 runs, but that's not what it was intended to solve.

Ok, another update..

I got everything finished and buttoned up around 9pm last night.. Using the dynomax tailpipes it fits like a glove. The tailpipes don't even come close to hitting the PHB.. But - remember, I cut off the dynomax tips and used my old magnaflow ones..

What a huge difference the PHB makes. I got used to correcting the car every time I went hard into a turn. Before the PHB I would turn the wheel and wait for the back end to catch up, then ease up on the wheel before it would oversteer.

Now, it's a smooth turn.. The car turns and that's it.. I don't have to wait for the rear-end to catch up and it's so much more predictable..

All-in-all I give the PHB a 9/10 PITA factor and a 9/10 awesomeness factor..
