I need to change a front wheel bearing. What type of thread locker is correct for the front spindle nuts? Ford uses some sort of light green paste that doesn’t look like anything else I’ve used.
What makes the M3 competition package unsuitable for FS?
From the specs I can find online the 2010-2013 M3 is v8, RWD, 400hp, 3700 pounds, with 9.5” wide wheels. Those specs seem similar to a lot of other FS cars, but I’m sure there’s an important part I’m missing.
I have a similar model power washer, what nozzle do you use to rinse your car? That washer only comes with a 15° nozzle. I wonder if that is too narrow and will damage the paint.
I'm glad this thread title drew me in. My tire shop destroyed the stock lugs, they must not have put the socket all the way down the lug and only hit the sheet metal.
I wanted an excuse to get black lug nuts, gorillas are on the way.
I figured out why I couldn't find a 5mm spacer with a lip for the wheel hub. The hub on these cars is thicker than 5mm. Unfortunately the GTPP wheels have a significant chamfer in this area, if I space them out there is no contact with the hub.
Now I have to decide if I trust the lugs to take...
When doing the camber mod, do you remove the strut from the car or just unbolt it from the spindle? Does the spindle need to be supported after it is unbolted from the strut, will the lower arm and tie rod hold it in place without damage?
If your old wheels are nearby the car may still read those sensors.
The sensors need to be synced to your car using a TPMS Transmitter tool. You can get the Motorcraft tool to sync the sensors from most places that sell Mustang parts, or Amazon.
Here's one source for the tool with an...
I need a 5mm spacer for the front of my GT. I've checked several parts suppliers and so far I haven't found any that sell hub centric 5mm spacers for the S550. Eibach makes them for the S197 but said they won't fit an S550.
Who sells hub centric 5mm spacers that fit the S550?
I appreciate all of the feedback, especially Grafanton sharing on track experience with the Indy 500s.
I'd prefer not to spend much on track tires because I'm probably only going to use them for three weekends. I've been running autocross with worn out Pirellis on a spare set of wheels and next...
