    Removing OEM UCA bracket

    2009 GT. I have removed and replaced the third link bracket twice without trouble--did not even have to drop the gas tank. Now I have a new bracket from Steeda. This afternoon I removed all the bolts easily (well, with the help of a breaker bar and a 1" pipe) and the bracket and link are loose...

    Sleeve in valve cover?

    Changing spark plugs and this came out of one of the valve cover slots. How do I put it back in? Does it need an o-ring or washer? Thanks in advance.

    Wes Duenkel's S197 Modification book

    I listened to Wes Duenkel on Kenny Brown's Cars and Coffee Saturday morning. Wes wrote a book about modifying 2011-2014 S197 Mustangs with the coyote motor. I have a 2009 GT with a 4.6 3V. Already have installed lots of chassis and suspension mods. Is it worth $33 for Duenkel's book, if I need...

    Differential Cover/ Girdle

    Greetings! 2009 GT with lots of welded/ bolted on chassis and suspension mods. Just bought Ford Racing LSD and 4.10 gears. There are several aftermarket differential covers for sale from $150 and up. My question is this: What is the benefit? Is a $200 cover a necessary item? Maybe most...

    Can't compress rear brake piston

    So, started what I expected would be a two-hour job replacing front and rear pads on my 2009 GT. Left front, fine. Left rear, fine--including using "the tool" to compress the piston. Right rear, uh, something ain't right. The tool engages the piston and turns it, but the piston will not compress...

    Frozen driveshaft bolts

    Thought I would swap in a new steeda (Dana Spicer) aluminum driveshaft in a couple hours. Diff bolts and center support came out immediately but I can't budge the old transmission flange bolts (odd 12-point heads). Tons of PB Blaster, pneumatic impact (supposedly 700 lb-ft breakaway torque)...

    Slapping sound when shifting gears

    2009 GT 5-speed. Hurst shifter, FRPP handling kit (shocks/springs/struts and stabilizer bars), and Steeda adjustable UCA. When I shift gears there is a pronounced slapping sound from the rear/center, around where the UCA bolts onto the frame. I checked the pinion angle after installing the UCA...

    Steeda brake lines

    I have the Steeda s/s brake line kit. Rear wheels installed effortlessly. Replacement bracket was an exact match for the OEM part. Front wheels, eh. Stock bracket was brazed to the AN female fitting. Heavy steel, left and right mirror image. The brackets Steeda sent are drilled for the 10mm bolt...

    Market for used OEM parts?

    In the last few months I have bolted on various stuff: CAI, Hurst shifter, GT500 front LCAs, Steeda UCA, and Ford Performance handling package. Now I have a bunch of used parts taking up space. Is there a market for the OEM stuff? Or is it just trash? Thanks for your patience--I am a lurker and...
