    How To: Replacing Upper Ball Joints on a 3rd Gen 4x4 [Pictures]

    Did both mine today. Took about 5 hours; did it without removing the arm. Ended up blasting the first one through the top. lol Used the 80008. It was knurled with a zerk. :thumbsup: Did my sway bar endlinks (moog) while I was in there, that was about an hour of it since they sheared off...

    4.0L AWD Viscous Coupling, Failure?

    I have a question in regards to my AWD system, it is indeed AWD and not 4x4, no selectable transfer case. It has recently begun to snow like a hooker here in MI, and I've begun to notice that my AWD does not feel like it once was last winter. First it does not engage the front wheels in...

    Third row upholstery dissolving?

    As the title says, I've had a funky "vinegar" like smell coming from a mystery area. (i've noticed during heavy rain that my hatch will drip very slowly, I assume it is coming from the 3rd brake light seal) I finally had a nice day off to investigate and I go to pull the third row seat bottom...

    Sank my 03 in 3 feet of snow and now it squeals

    I just remedied this today, myself... after blowing into a good pile of snow for fun and getting stuck huge... Even the 4 snow tires I rock didn't make a difference. :)

    supercharger is installed!!!

    AED is no longer in business. They made an intercooled M90 set-up for 4.6L 2v PI motors. They were the only company to ever offer a bolt on supercharger kit for a Crown Victoria, they also offered a f150,and mustang kits too. Very well built, but they were very pricey, and the m90 was not the...

    03/04 Cobra M112 4.0L - Can it be done?

    A m90 is almost pegged on a 4.6L... an m112 is big for a 4.0L, I may not be running an intercooler, so the increased efficiency at the equivalent boost level from the m112 will provide a lower IAT... (4.6L * 6000rpm * 85VE * ((6lbs + 14.7)/(14.7)))/ 5660 = 583CFM * .02832 = 16.5 Cubic Meters /...

    Wheel and tire questions

    Need some turbo recomendations

    STS is overpriced... I'm not saying that it does not work, they do... but for what you pay and what you get it's not worth it. Plus you must fab it all in there anyway, you might as well start a kit from scratch and save about a grand. Also the cost of the kit isn't all, now you are looking...

    HP limit on AWD?

    Just out of curiosity what would be a safe wheel (AWHP) limit for a stock AWD drivetrain? I want to do a power adder on my car at some point, and just wondering what my limitations are drivetrain wise?

    20" Cragar S/S 610C

    I rendered a set of these wheels onto my 03 XLT using this program wheel envizio and they look fantastic! I'd post the rendering but i'm not allowed... So go on play and see what wheels you like (they do have a limited selection though) I was just wondering if anyone has put these on an x?
