- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Yes, everything was clocked properly. I think that today I will turn the bar over. It seems to me that it will create the clearance that I need. (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Thoughts on "flow formed" wheels v. fully forged wheels for the track.Which specs should I be carefully analyzing, and by what standard? <---- I am not really sure that the specs would mean much to me. Can you educate me a little? (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog reacted to Bouncing Soul's post in the thread Thoughts on "flow formed" wheels v. fully forged wheels for the track with
Like.Forging is a better process for a race wheel but I’m sure there are less well designed forged wheels which are inferior to the flow formed wheels.Unfortunately even as an engineer you might not know which are truly better without taking your... -
Junkyard Dog reacted to Bill Pemberton's post in the thread Thoughts on "flow formed" wheels v. fully forged wheels for the track with Like.Though I have owned a bunch of Flow Formed Apex wheels and had super luck with them a change in the last few years has caused me to primarily recommend their " Forged Wheels." The Flow Formed wheels used to be knurled on the outside edge of the...

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Does it drop 3 seconds off the lap time or not? "Complete garbage" would not do that. 3 seconds is like going from 200 tw to racing slicks. If the answer is not, makes no difference, then, well, ok, garbage. Is that the case?Is the GC set... (see full post)
- stevbd replied to the thread Thoughts on "flow formed" wheels v. fully forged wheels for the track.It’s often said that forged wheels are lighter and stronger, but I think more accurately they are lighter OR stronger. Check out the Apex specs carefully, plus their Enduro line of forged wheels.Billy Johnson wrote an interesting article a... (see full post)
1 old racer replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.150 good, 200 bad. Personally I woild change them out. The fronts are easy. The rears and more involved. Lots of how too on youtube on how to do it. (see full post)
Zellion_GT replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.I thinkkkkkk it was like 150-200 region. The one who helped take off my wheel was using the heavy duty cordless Milwaukee impact gun on setting 3 and all but the security lug was finally able to come off. The security lug, we needed a 3ft ratchet... (see full post)
Thanks Bill! I'm never afraid to ask anyone anything even if it gets me slapped or punched in the face.
bnight replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Did you clock your bushings after installing all of that ? https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/bmr-tech-tip-clock-those-bushings-after-lowering-your-s550.44129/ (see full post)-
There are two mount points of the FP struts. The end links are mounted to the rear mounts on both sides.Camber plates are brand new. Strut nuts are properly torqued w/locktite.
-
Highly unlikely but are the camber plates old? It is possible(again…very unlikely) that the center bearing is worn out and has excessive play.
-
My first simple change which should straighten the angle on the drop links so the joints sit more in the middle of their range.More concerning is this brake hose though. Please replace it. Its not worth the risk of it failing.
This is the Build Thread for Rustang aka the CSM GT. Reply below.-

1 old racer replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.What did they torque them to? And what did they re-torque them to when they reinstalled the wheel? I would replace them since you know they were compromised. And may I suggest ARP studs, I have been using them for as long as I can remember(+=45... (see full post)

Zellion_GT replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.Well now u got me worried and stressing. My next autocross in the 28th so if I need to replace the studs let me know. Gemini says that if you hand hand thread a new lug nut onto each stud and the studs don’t look like they’re getting thinner at... (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.The bar in your photo has welded solid ends attached to a hollow bar.
