    First suspension mod? 06 GT

    The spherical bushing reduces the binding when only one wheel moves up or down a lot. A LCA like from BMR fights more against this movement of the axle. When I go down a curb now with one wheel, it feels almost like an independend suspension.

    Should I stay away from 2005 to 2008 (spark plugs)?

    You just need a left-hand torque wrench (or make it yourself) and you will not brake a spark plug. Of cause from year to year the cars got better, I would buy a later model.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I have the smaller ones at my fender, the chrome has a good quality, but the blue and red color has faded over time, but not a big issue. Best point, they are made from metal.

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    Pretty sure, shortcuts in the secondary coil is only one way to die for a COP. If the good coil has 4kOhm and one has only 3 kOhm, you found a smoking gun. On my R4 new coils had 7 kOhm and the 20 years old had only 4 kOhm, after change the engine was running much smoother. At my Suzuki, I had a...

    8.8 rear axle

    Not an expert, done this only two times, the drive side looks for me acceptable, the coast not so good. Did you apply enough pressure when you rotate it with color? And, in the end it is just noise, when you hear too much of it, do it again. I modified my driveshaft 4 times before I found the...

    First suspension mod? 06 GT

    If you live in a area with twisty roads I can recommend the J&M Extreme LCAs with the spherical PU bushing. It makes the live axle alive ;)

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    Our coils do not have a build in diode, so you can test the resistance with a multimeter. It is a good idea to write the value down (or on it) when they are new, they age over time, resulting in a weaker spark.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    "Also, gotta get off it now & restore my DS HID headlight lens...." just done this, 400/600/800/1200/2000 sandpaper and a DA polisher. There is a controversy if you should clear coat or use a protection spray like from Meguiar on top of it. I decided to polish it, because spray something on a...

    Silver/Black - nice ..... Welcome and swaybars first. With bigger swaybars you can drive softer shocks and springs.

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    Had similar experience with a workshop here - got the car back not repaired and decided to buy a garage lift. The problem is, even if you get the car back with no error, you cannot trust them, engine can have a hidden damage now.

    2006 Mustang GT Manual Convertible FBO Dyno Results

    You have clearance pinon/ring gear + one pair spider gear + 2nd pair spider gear. Maybe with a new differential the empty way from driveshaft rotation to wheel spin is smaller. On my other cars it is in general the same, but they have 2 rubber disk to dampen the noise. Ford should have used one...

    2006 Mustang GT Manual Convertible FBO Dyno Results

    you must add up all clearances from the ring gear, throughout the spider gears to the wheel. If I remember correctly you can move the driveshaft 10 degrees before the wheels start to spin when you go from left to right turning of it. There is no noticeable play in the driveshaft u-joint or the...

    2006 Mustang GT Manual Convertible FBO Dyno Results

    Ying and Yang, with only one u-joint the velocity changes are not compensated, so you get vibrations somewhere. But, the OEM driveshaft is bad, really bad ..... why they didn't used a standard support rubber bushing will stay a secret I think. BTW, the clunk is the play in the differential.

    Bad Rear End Bearing?

    I had the driveshaft noise around 100 kmh and it was just speed related and load independent. Bad CV/U-joint? Wheel bearing noise should change in corners.

    Wiper cowls

    The 05-09 are different. The middle part of the driver side looks distorted. I needed a dedicated wiper arm puller to get them out (for painting).

    2011 Rusted Rear Axle

    Wow, that is rusted..... It is a vibration dampener. It has a bolt and you can remove it. The idea is that just by increasing the mass, some frequency from the rear axle are blocked and cannot go to the LCA and the chassis.

    Euro 7 from November on is a total nightmare. They record the fuel consumption every second, that means they can tax you when you enter a city. "You emitted 200 g of CO2 in our city, that makes 20€ of carbon tax...." There is a camera watching your eyes where you looking at, how often you...
