    Also check front sway bay bushings, that fixed the clunk for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Resonators to quiet down Borla ATAK

    Love the sound of the ATAKs, but lately have been finding them a little too loud. They also drone pretty bad below 2k rpm. Exhaust is stock up to mufflers. 2 options I’m thinking of: 1) Install resonators, vibrant performance looks good. Not sure wether to go with ultra quiets or bottle style...

    Which new Alt & pulley

    I would advise against PA Performance. After my stock unit failed I replaced it with one of their high output alternators. It went bad after less than a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Roll Bar for 2008 Mustang Convertible

    Take a look at the maximum motorsports roll bar. Pretty straight forward install and the backseat is actually useable if you don’t opt for the cross brace. Good look getting the interior plastics to fit again after though. Be careful with cheap roll bars and their mounting points. I’ve seen...

    Help me choose a suspension setup

    So coil overs are no good because it’s overkill? Or because it ruins the ride? They’re not much more expensive than going the shock and strut route. Appreciate the input. Are you using CC plates? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help me choose a suspension setup

    Just completed my third track day on my stock suspension and alignment. Rolled onto the outside of the front tires hard, came within a few inches of the rim. So I need camber plates but figured I may as well go all out and replace the tired old soft shocks. I like to do tons of research before...

    Boss 302 Springs Worth it?

    What shock/strut would you recommend pairing with those springs? I’m eyeing them myself as my car is supercharged and Ive run a few hpde this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front end too low after Whipple install - how to raise it?

    Following this thread, I have the same issues. Stock suspension struggles under the added weight in the front for sure. Thinking about going with the Koni yellow adjustable shocks but not sure on the spring. Not really looking to lower the car if possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Convertible rear end links loose

    18mm rear sway bar endlinks we’re so loose I could move them laterally by hand while the car was parked. I replaced the worn rubber bushings with prothane bushings thinking that would solve the problem but I can still move them by hand! When driving hpde I can hear clunking from the rear end...

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    The retailer is opening the claim with Michelin and I am providing them the documentation. They are an internet company, no physical locations. As long as the documentation is acceptable they say they will send a replacement, and returning the defective tires may or may not be necessary...

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    Appreciate your help skwerl, thank you. For anyone else interested, I purchased the Michelin’s through Simple Tire. I am starting the return/warranty process and they have requested the following: 1) Install-on invoice copy 2) Balancing reports showing the issue (especially, if its a print...

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    New video, on jack stands idling in first. You can actually see the tire moving up and down and hear when it contacts the object each rotation. https://youtube.com/shorts/j1cIRG1cuJE?feature=share I’m thinking next step would be put the old tires back on and see if there’s still a vibration...

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    I made a little mark with a gray sharpie behind the tire. I thought that would help visually see high and low points in the tire? Saw someone else do that on YouTube and it made the low spots visually obvious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    Videos of tire play: Tires are not out of round, this was the very scientific test I used to check on both sides: Appreciate everyone’s help and input while I try to figure this out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    Both Rear tires have play and make a clunking sound when placing hands at 12 and 6 rocking top to bottom. Some play when rocking back and forth with my hands at 3 and 9, one side worse than the other. Took wheels off and and checked for debris and and lug clips, found nothing. Put wheels back...

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    Going to check for out of round condition as soon as the heat breaks. Ford tech way overinflated the tires to 45psi cold when spec is 32, hope that’s not what caused it. But the worst part was treating me like I don’t know anything and trying to get rid of me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    Can this be caused my tire overinflation? Ford dealer inflated tires to 45psi cold! Saw a neat idea on YouTube to make a little chalk mark on the strut/shock behind the tire. When the tires slowly spinning it makes it easier to see high and low points in the tire. Going to check this out when...

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    I guess this is possible, you’d think having the tires taken on and off to be balanced a second time the dirt would fall out. But it’s worth taking the time to clean the surfaces to double check. Appreciate the suggestion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    Wheels are aftermarket but have been on the car for years. Maybe the dealer put those washers back on? Will have to pop the wheels off and check. Thanks for the tip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel vibration after visiting Ford Dealership

    Took my 06 GT into Ford to have new rear tires fitted and an alignment done. Drove the car to Ford at highway speeds and greater with no vibration. Ford performs requested service and on first dive out from dealership there is a vibration that starts around 55mph, feels like a tire out of...

    R Compound Tires for a Track Newbie?

    Just ordered some PS4S for the rear. Going to shelve the R888Rs for the future. By the time I’m advanced enough I figure I’ll just have a second set of rims for the R compounds that are track only. Thanks for the input! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
