I understand that Ford needs to diagnose by hearing it for themselves because you can't rely on just our descriptions. That said, if so many of us have noticed this sound you'd think that they would know what we mean by now and tell us if it's normal or not. I don't really want take off work...
Thanks for the feedback. I haven't even listened for it at WOT, I guess my mind was on other things. I'm thinking a good cure might be a louder exhaust. ;)
Jeff, I sent a PM.
Since this thread has been around for a while has anyone else who's had this noticed it getting much better after putting on some miles?
I noticed the thud when going into 2nd and 3rd gears. Not that I care about it that much but I just discovered that it doesn't do it when I double clutch.
I had a Steeda bumpsteer kit for my 05 but that's because I had the X5 ball joints. Is this kit really needed with springs with just a 1 inch drop such as the Steeda sport springs?
Does it really matter what class you run in unless you are at nationals. I mean there are so many classes in SCCA everyone gets a trophy. LOL I rarely see a class at any given event with more than 2, maybe 3 cars in it. Most class all have one car. I used to bump my car up into different...
Sway bars help body roll but they are more for balance. If you want to get rid of roll get the springs first. Mustangs push like fat pigs from the factory. During autocrosses my previous Mustang would plow and shutter through hard corners, it was so easy to over drive it. Then I added a rear...
Good to hear that it's that big a difference. I had the g-trac brace for my 05 and it was only a very small improvement. Sounds like I'll have to get one of these.
Thanks. I think it would require taking off the wheel to replace the leather. At least I would get a service manual and figure out how to take it off because it would make life a lot easier.
I guess it wouldn't be that bad because once you remove all the factory stitching you could take off...
Thanks!
When searching for silver I saw tons of other colors. On my 05 I used Blue to match sonic blue. I did this on my Dad's red 07. You can find any color.
If anyone wants to do it and has any questions let me know.
I restitched my steering wheel with silver thread and I thought it turned out pretty well. If anyone else wants to do it it's not very hard. You will want to get nylon upholstery thread and use curved needles. I was able to pull up just a bit on the plastic on the back of the spokes of the...
