What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[ScubaSteve2020]

I will let the pictures tell most of the story :

Dumbest nut design / usage in the world - they are already semi rounded, they get stuck in your spanner and the design is prone to rust :

Evidence that standard vertical links should be clocked :

Done :

This turned out to be a very easy job, this is everything that was required :

The rubber mallet was only used to remove the original links (the bottom bush bites into the ally arm), NOT for fitting the new links !

The wheel change studs are a nice thing to have, but not a necessity.

The old duvet is just a bonus to make the cobbled drive a slightly nicer place to be

I did have a second jack on standby (to move the lower arm independently to the body), but it just wasn’t needed :

I likey . . . which drop links are they?

J&M / @Hotpart.com

I looked around at most makes and they just fitted what I was after, I think they are priced fairly and they will ship international (quickly and for a good rate), which is a big bonus for us on this side of the pond

It’s also nice to know I might have had an influence in the bearing seals / centralisation bushes now being included as standard in the kit.

I already have the J&M rear camber brackets and will most likely source their toe links when the time comes

Got my performance pack spoiler and LVA wicked bill on today. What a pain in the ass with only one person… my car was spoiler delete from factory so I got to have extra fun drilling holes without a template… also didn’t send me half the hardware for the spoiler.. good times. Don’t mind the car is filthy.

Replaced a rear wheel bearing, balanced and rotated the tires, and found out that I had a bent wheel. Thankfully I had a spare wheel, but now I’ve got to get the bent wheel fixed or find another spare…

Installed a Saleen rear spoiler. Seems to even out the silhouette of my car, which before seemed front heavy, looks wise.

lol about 330K

I think they give you 42,000 points for buying a new Ford regardless of model. I bought a new Expedition 2 years ago but still got the same amount of points even though it was a lot more expensive than our Mustang. So… I guess the OP bought 8 cars and they gave him the exhaust upgrade for free…?!?

bad news, pittsbhurg pro 1.5 ton jack couldn't even raise my car high enough to slide jack stands under... had to wait for my friend with his daytona jack

good news, harbor freight has a 3 ton low profile rapid pump daytona jack on sale today that I'll be getting
