Question about the ride

dlaul01 · May 25, 2005

Ok well i just bought my 90 gt. Everything is going great except for the common problems which dont really worry me at all. But heres the thing i live in pittsburgh. The roads suck really bad i know i need new brakes and rotors in the front now. My car sometimes pulls "i guess" it rides like crap around where i live because of the sucky roads i think i might have a ball joint problem. How do i make sure because i know if i take my car to a shop they will joy ride it like no other. Thats the way it is around where i live it might be just my stang suck on these roads just wanted your guys input. Also where is a good site i can get parts from like a latch for my hatch.

Thanks guys,
Dan

For the latch try 50 resto, that is where my latch came from for my gt.

Also, fox mustangs just ride like a wagon with square wheels. Well at least all I have owned have. Try stiffing the chassis with sub connectors. It helped mine with ride quality. Try new shocks and struts maybe also.

If u have a bad balljoint when u turn it should make a popping noise.

Hope this helps.

It def does not make a popping noise so i guess i do not have a bad ball joint. Ill try 5.0 restro to as well thank you... it just sucks where i live because the roads are horrible...

Another way to check the ball joints is to jack up one side of the car so theres a couple inches of space under that tire and then stick a pry bar under the tire and lift up. Any up and down movement is more than likely a bad ball joint but cam be checked further at that point.
