Updated front lower control arms with PP1 ones on the driver side.
Interesting fact : the one in front has been changed like 2 years ago by Ford under warranty (I had a "klong" sound when rideing over bumps). When I removed it , I noticed that :
- It hasn't been tighten with the suspension...
Changed the right side front lower control arms for PP1 ones. Removed damper assembly as well, preparing for the Track Handling Pack to arrive (someday ....).
On my way to do the left side (should me much faster now that I got that every single bolt assembly needs heat to be removed :D )
By the law in Europe it's 10 years.
There are still so many Mustangs on the roads, that would be great if Ford does like Porsche : You can order and get everything in 24/48hours even for your 40 years old car. For even rare parts/car , like bodywork, they wait for a pile of orders and do some...
@_zOmbIE_ heating did the trick! In conjunction with a new hammer wrench.
But the link is dead anyways, the vibrations killed the ball joint.
And It's still strange as the thread on the bolt is exactly like the nut was mispositionned and force bolted.
Anyways, got to do the bottom one now 😁
While waiting for my FP track pack to arrive I thought I could take some advance and, as well, change the lower front arms for PP1's.
Then... I spent two hours on a 1mn job trying to remove the upper nut of the front sway bar link. Completely rusted. From what I see even the thread seems...
Didn't notice anything so far but honestly I didn't drive it enough with the new wheels (I've got them just before winter).
I was wondering as well if it could influence the trans. I might reset the auto-learn...
Anyways, this will wait for that @#$%& track handling kit to come over and to...
Finally installed the vertical link and camber arm on the driver side, which is indeed an interesting thing to do compared to the passenger side !!
Now waiting for the track handling pack that should show up someday ... :(
This is when I noticed that despite the fact that the PP1 19'' setup has a lower theoritical diameter than the OEM 18'' , the revs per mile is lower. Maybe because the tire is less deformed in real life ?? I guess some folks at Ford did the test for real :-)
Thanks !
Didn't mentioned it but yes, I have the PP1 OEM front+rear tire size.
Original OEM mount is 235/55-18 so therotically 718 rev per miles for 723 stored in PCM.
PP1 mount is (rear, where the sensor is) 275/40-19 which is theoritically 728 rev per mille. My guess is then I should put...
Hello !
I replaced the OEM 18 inches wheel with OEM forged silver PP1 in 19inches.
Even if with the new tires/wheel setup there is a minimal circumference change I wonder if a PP1 owner could be kind enough to check using ForScan or Ford Procal tool the number of Rev Per Miles setup in the ECM...
The OEM one in my 2018 was already an AGM. Replaced it with an AGM as well.
Nothing special to mention.
(don't forget to reset the Battery Monitoring System when you change the battery)
Yup !
I mean going to lock if you have some very sticky race tires and after that resistance to sudden and consecutive high heat.
(BTW are you french or what ?)
If you want more breaking, invest in floating discs and bigger calipers (as long as the tire setup can handle it). But those disc aren't at all in the same price range.
