Here are few more things to check:
1 - Are the rear bump stops trimmed when installing the lowering springs?
2-Check the rear wheel bearings for play, also check the axle nuts for being loose(These can induce rear sway side to side)
3- For street use, I would recommend going to softest settings...
The parts that I regret the most were:
1- The vertical links - Had the BMR with poly bushings - Hardly made any difference in dynamics of the car and worst part was the squeaking noises that kept coming back after 3 weeks everytime I greased them, so I went back to the stock ones and never...
I have couple of more tips, since I've also wrestled with pad rattles ever since I put the bullitt brakes on my car.
1- The anti-rattle springs, they seem to be one or two time use only as they lose their shape and tension - (Best practice would be to install the first time and not take them on...
Found the issue, it was either the airbox that was loose(10mm) bolt or the breather tube that has a T-stand off of intake that was broken, I replaced it with a Zip tie that has a christmas tree clip, secured it to the intake. The noise is completely gone. It was creating such a ruckus when...
You have to increase the volume a bit to hear it. It's kind of a rattly trumpet noise that it was not there a while ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the engine as the performance is not affected, no CELs or weird behavior of the engine, it's just something rattling in the engine bay that wasn't...
Bilsteins that I had in the rears became noisy(clunking) in less than a month(mounted on H&R Sport springs), replaced under warranty, and the replacements became noisy again in about the same length of time and by then the fronts started making noises too, so I just went back to stock. Just...
Hi everyone,
I recently noticed that when I go WOT with my car (2016 Mustang V6) the engine sounds a bit weird(kinda trumpety) The noise seems to be coming from the top of the engine, I wanna say the intake area. This noise comes only when WOT. If I wind up the car gradually(all the way to 5-6k...
If you have pad rattle, there’s a high chance that the pad with the wear indicator was installed on the inside instead of being installed on the outside. If the pad with the wear indicator is installed on the inside, it’s going to bang against the mounting flange of the caliper, and make metal...
Hi everyone,
as the title says yesterday I replaced the rear calipers, rotors and brake pads on my car and after bleeding the brakes on all 4 corners, the handbrake seems to have loosened up quite drasticly, It used to stop at around 7 clicks, but now easily goes way up(almost vertically :D )...
I used to have the PRX-91 tune on my car also. The 0-60s didn't change at all from stock. The only difference was how sensitive the gas pedal and how agressive the auto transmission shifts were. It felt faster because of those changes but in reality didn't make any difference time wise. I do...
Couple of areas you could also check are:
1- Were the rubber bushings both in front and rear, clocked after lowering the car?
2-Try testing the rear wheel bearings for excessive play. Put the car on jack stands(all wheels up) , release the parking brake put the car in nuetral and grab the rear...
Since you’ve had variety of failures multiple times(compressors and HP hoses) there’s a chance that one of the compressors, shredded its internals and pushed particles in other parts of the system, and that might be the reason that you had multiple failures. There might be some clog somewhere...
OP, At this stage, if I were you, I would replace everything(Condenser, dryer, evaporator, hoses, seals, compressor, expansion valves..."everything") and I wouldn't do it through dealership . From my personal experience, dealers will misdiagnose your car's issues and milk the ESP as much as they...
Since you are describing that under lateral forces the car feels unsettled momentarily, this is what I think is happening and what you are feeling. You installed the FP rear toe bearing, which as far as I know it's a spherical bearing, and also you installed the rear diff lockouts too, so the...
Hi everyone,
As the title says , I have a set of lowering springs and swaybars from H&R up for sale. I have been running them for around 4-5 years. I went back to stock suspension as I am driving too much and although I loved the way my car felt with these in terms of driving dynamics, the...
