Ford threadlockers?

[moby4dick]

To try and right this ship and get back to the question ask about threadlocker, the pink is low strength, blue is medium strength, and red is high strength. Each color has a few different variations for primered, primerless, high temp, etc. There is also a green wicking grade that can to be used after the bolt is torqued. And last there is a green retaining compound that you definitely don't want to use. It is used on loose fits or very worn spline couplings.

A good rule of thumb is blue 243, which is primerless, is a good all around threadlocker that can still be removed. Now the mentioned colors and numbers are referring to lock tite brand products.

So would the pink colored threadlocker on the bolts be equivalent to Loctite purple then?

And re tires, PS4S, OE pressure 33# all around.

As some others suggest. Shocks are step 1 for that floating feeling.

OP stated he has magnaride, unless the controller is dead it shouldn't be floaty.
I think Steeda has a YT video of the IRS subframe moving in corners.

There was no mention of any squishiness from the rear.

As for the original thread, Loctite purple (222MS) is mainly for smaller screws or ones that require occasional adjustment. The pink pre-applied (DRI 204) is similar to 262. Blue may be our best choice for normal thread locking.

Drive it, then put some IRS braces on it, then report back.

This!

I know the vid Tj posted is on a drag launch but the subframe deflects when in corners also. It may not if the road is perfectly smooth.

Have you aligned the car?

 

[moby4dick]

Reporting back, I’ve had the car on track as well as some favorite back roads with the fast S turns mentioned. Very pleased with the results!

Rear no longer feels floaty and catching up with the front. Much more planted and feeling confident in the chassis. Definitely not placebo effect.

Alignment unfortunately need to be redone. My shop didn’t have their new rack installed, and their friends shop didn’t follow our request, so turn in not sharp.
