Perhaps the most unhelpful bit of info out there... The bit of extra money might get me an older GT with 180k+ miles and/or a salvage title.

After getting t-boned by a red light runner on the 31st of July things are finally wrapping up with the insurance and I am looking at getting a 2012 v6/stick with roughly 61k miles on it. Are there any sort of maintenance or mechanical issues I should keep an eye out for? The air bag recall...

Ive replaced the steering rack, outer tie rod ends, entire lower control arm assembly (was cheaper and easier than replacing ball joints and bushings), sway bar end links, and the strut mounts. Good call on the sway bar bushings, might as well change them out when I do the struts.

I have replaced pretty much my entire front suspension over the last 4 months and each step i take seems to improve the ride and handling. There was a rather significant "clunk" sound whenever I would make a turn, replaced the sway bar end links, which looked like they were about to fall apart...

The bulbs are new and I can't really see anything that tells me it's busted.

My inside trunk light and the 3rd brake lights in my car don't work and I was wondering if there is a common point of failure or if I need to start chasing wires.

I've noticed that there is a loud clicking noise in my dash when switching between different vent settings, like a plastic gear is slipping. Any ideas where the most likely source of this noise is and how I should go about fixing it?

Check your front ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, control arm bushings, and strut mounts. These will make the difference between feeling like your driving a tired old dish sponge and actually driving a Mustang. It's unusually cheap to get a set of replacement GT500 lower control arms...

Seems I have some "fun" times ahead. Took my car to get an alignment this morning and the shop guy took me into the bay to show me that the lower ball joints, control arm bushings, and inner tie rods are pretty shot and they can't do an alignment until it's fixed (replaced outer tie rod ends and...

So I've had my new-to-me 06 Mustang for about a week now, tie rod bushings replaced, full coolant flush, extractor cleaned the interior, new tires, oil change, all the normal stuff. It has about 116k miles, but otherwise runs great! Compared to things I've driven in the past the throttle seems...

I finally got the car Thursday and the vibration isn't as bad as I was lead to believe, some slight vibration at idle (both in neutral or in gear) that goes away at normal city driving speeds but comes back, a bit more noticibly at highway speeds. The rubber in the motor mounts is probably worn...

Got the car for $4200, needs some love though. It's gonna be my DD for college and work and will be 1000x better than the clapped out Grand Marquis I've been driving. While the Ranchero is a riot to drive, 6 mpg does tend to make my wallet cry. I was thinking that once I finish school and get...

Seems that my 4.0 is getting some vibration from the motor that is entirely dependant on engine speed. Both when driving or in neutral the vibration keeps pace with engine speed. My first thought is the harmonic balancer is starting to go, which seems reasonable at 116k miles on the clock, but...

Got the car and the previous owner put in these hard "racing" bucket seats, not great for a DD. Also managed to get a set of factory seats from a car that was being parted out but the plug for the passenger seat was cut off and I was wondering what that all does? Does it do something for the...

Glad you caught it before they completely gave out on you!

So what was the problem?

Check to see if one of the balance weights has come off the drive shaft, while under there you can also check to see if there is any play in the u-joints.

The mods that I am considering are mostly around how I can get a bit more bang for my buck at the pump, ideally I would like to get it up to around 20 mpg city driving. I also figure if I want to really go fast later on I won't feel bad about heavily modifying a base model that already has some...

If I could I would, but it's just not in the budget. My 73 Ranchero is more than fast enough to satisfy my need for speed, so at least there's that.

Hi there, I am looking at getting a used 06 Mustang with the v6/auto combo, it's bone stock and pretty low on miles, around 118k. From what little info I have been able to find it seems that the best bang for the buck, as far as upgrades go, is getting the computer retuned, exhaust upgrades...
