  1. Motorcraft tie rods- buyer beware

    I was able to find new nuts for the outers on ebay. Ford PN is W705606-S440. However, must of the other brands on Rock Auto come with hardware (according to the pics)
  2. Motorcraft tie rods- buyer beware

    Hey, that does look like what I need- I'm sure the tie rods use metric hardware, but I'll seach around on the site. Thanks.
  3. Motorcraft tie rods- buyer beware

    I'm doing some off-season maintenance and replacing my tie rods ('11 GT). I bought Motorcraft inners and outers, but they don't come with jam nuts or nuts for the outers (attaching to the spindle).I took apart my old ones to get the jam nuts and re-use them, but it was a pain in the a$$.The...

  5. trustworthy shop for ring and pinion install?

    Can anyone recommend a good shop in or near Chicago that can do a ring and pinion install? Some places claim they can, but I think it's an art form! Thanks.
  6. Ford Racing oil cooler instructions?

    Does anyone have the instructions from Ford for installing the Boss 302 oil cooler, PN M-6642-MBA? It's the air-to-oil cooler, not the coolant-to-oil unit. Thanks.
  7. Ford Racing front hub question

    I am installing a set of Ford Racing front hubs (S197), and they came with new wheel bearing nuts. The original nuts were a cool design- two pieces, with the nut able to turn independently from the washer. The new ones from Ford are one piece. Since Ford sent new ones, I'm using them.For...

  9. S197 new OEM rear upper link bushing- free

    I bought a new stock rear upper link busing for my 2011 GT, but ended up installing a different one (for a GT500). If anyone can use the stock piece, it's yours- send me your address and I'll drop it in the mail.
  10. rear axle upper bushing

    I should have searched! 67GTA, you already did the leg work for us. Thanks for the offer, but I already spent an hour on the lathe turning some spacers, but I did use 1/2" threaded rod like you did. Norm, you perfectly articulated why I don't want poly in that spot.
  11. rear axle upper bushing

    I needed to replace my rear axle upper bushing, and I found there are a couple options from Ford (OEM parts). There's the regular bushing (PN BR3Z-5A638-B) but the 2014 GT500 got a different bushing (PN DR3Z-5A638-A). I ordered both, expecting the GT500 one to be heavy-duty, visibly more...

    Blacksheep, that was me at the Runoffs- thanks for the Phoenix hat!
  13. 2011-2012 Borla Stinger S-Type axle-back exhaust

    I'm selling a set of Borla Stinger S-Type mufflers. They were on my car when I bought it, I swapped them out for GT500s. They are used, but in good shape- I don't know how many miles (bought the car used). Asking $200 (the kit is $750 new) plus shipping. If you're anywhere near Chicago, we...
