    lowering

    @colestelter You have started FIVE "lowering" threads in one week. Please don't start any more on the same subject. To prevent confusion I have merged your five threads into two. Combined threads are sorted by date and time posted. Apologies for posts seemingly out of order.

    Michelin Defender LTX MS + Vintage Ranchero's +

    More than ten years and dry rot beginning to show it was time for new shoes. My Michelin Latitude Tour model was discontinued so I needed to do some research for replacements. When I bought the Latitude Tours in 2010, I was also considering the LTX M/S2 that was very highly regarded with some...

    PATS Key Loops Broken

    Third one. Anyone else have this issue? These were all OEM Strattec H84/H92 PATS keys. Never dropped or thrown, and only a small Viper keyless entry remote and house key on the chain hanging from the ignition. No reinforcement found inside the broken key loops. Black material almost feels like a...

    Passenger Side Valve Train Noise (4.0L SOHC) VIDEO

    First video. Excuse the camera "work", I needed three hands. Posted in the 1995-01 sub forum for visibility. Rattle is intermittent and only happens at idle speed when the engine is at operating temperature. NEVER rattles at start up, or at the known 2500-3000 RPM range indicating timing chain...

    Front Inner Fender Sound Absorber Foam

    Accidentally pushed them both in while cleaning the door jambs. Don't believe they are held by anything except friction. Had to loosen the plastic fender liners for access and glued them with E-6000 adhesive. If you open your doors and see light coming through, it's a source for wind and road...

    Alignment Printout Sheet Question

    What alignment setting(s) would cause poor steering return to center? I've read cross caster is the culprit, but am not convinced. Also, a very slight right steering drift on flat, uncrowned roads at all speeds. Tires are NOT the issue, and all steering and suspension parts are in good condition...

    4.0L SOHC to 4.0L OHV Pushrod Swap?

    Has anyone seen this swap done successfully? After consulting with koda2000, the short blocks are the same and the existing 5R55 may bolt right up. Seems it would be a lot less work than the more desirable 5.0L Windsor V8 conversion. I believe the OHV may be an econonmical and viable option for...

    Rear Child Seat Anchor Cover Fell Off

    Any possible way of reinstalling the rear passenger side anchor cover without removing the trim panel? Of all the special fasteners Ford uses on the ST, the push pin screws have to be the worst. Removed the panel once, and now most of them don't tighten. I believe they may be a source of rear...

    Best 194 LED For Gauge Cluster?

    Sorry, I've searched EVERYWHERE for this info. Would the Zevo 194 (T10) or comparable Philips bulbs work well for the gauge cluster? All I've seen used for instrument cluster lamps are the SMD type that uses multiple LED's for the widest possible dispersion. If there is any chance of dark spots...

    4.0L SOHC Metal Reinforced Timing Chain Guides Possible?

    Novice question. Must be a reason an aftermarket manufacturer hasn't made them. "If" the engine wasn't destroyed when the plastic tensioner guide(s) failed, seems like it would be a very lucrative business for those choosing to rebuild rather than replace their engine.
