Well it was time to change my anti-sway bar links so I brought a camera. This is what I found one day after hearing loud clunks every time I hit uneven ground: As much as I dont like NAPA, I'm a sucker and keep going back to them. The job would have neen made easier if the bolts were 1 or...

I have purchased this kit http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140074372336 and have just recieved it a few hours ago. This is what the kit contains: The instructions have very poor photos but seem to explain it alright. Basically, you remove the HVAC plenum and...

I have so much work to do to my Ex that a friend gave me his car instead of sending it to the salvage yard to make due since I can only work on it a few hours per night. I love this car so much I need to get a newer one or better shape one! it's an '86 LTD Crown Vic with 5.7L. It's got so much...

First off, its a '98 4.0 OHV, heres the situation: On my way south to Edmonton I started getting an idiot light on the cluster (lower left corner of the battery/oil pressure cluster) that I've never seen before, its a gas station fuel pump with three drop shapes on the right side. It's...

3 out of my 4 tires have produced one or several inward bulges on the sidewall. Should I pull my tires immediately or do you think they will be OK for a bit? Pictures say a thousand words-

Hey, you guys that have had this job done, how much was it for parts and labour? It is obvious to me that it is the bearing because there is loads of free play in the shaft at the Tx case. For me this is a job which requires more time than I have at the moment especially having gotten rid of...

Just a few days ago the rear started squeeking and squeeling at low speeds when in drive. It does not do it when being pushed in neutral and barely noticeable in reverse. I have checked the brakes and there is noting caught in them, and nothing leaking into them. The frequency of the squeek...

Hey, I remembered reading that the pipe sizing on the explorers was 2 1/4" dual in when I was shopping for a magnaflow, but I decided to check out anyways to make sure, and turns out its only 2" in, 2" out and the muffler and piping look factory, was the dual in, single out an option? I'd...

Boy I wish I had a picture of this (meant to bring the camera but forgot). I removed my fuel filter in my efforts to bring everything to "zero count" to solv my fuel economy woes, and it was so banged up, dented, bent in, and the line out to the engine was bent upwards quite a bit. It actually...

Well, I've exhausted my efforts in finding a synthetic mercon V compatible ATF ( the mobil1 at cdn tire only states mercon, not V and at 9$/L!) , the closest thing here is Quaker States' synthetic blend, other than walmart's tech 2000 brand full synthetic which is mercon V comp. now should I...

I'm not dripping any, my oil's clean, and when I had coolant left in the tank it was also clean, but its been dissapearing until now the tank's empty! Any tips as to the culprit?

Well, I bought a classic 14 foot Travel trailer on ebay for 200 bucks, and figuring its only 14 foot, thought that it would be a breeze to pull.... what a shock I got! with an average of 200 km per tank (thats 40L/100Km, or about 5.8 MPG for you Yanks!!) I definately couldnt miss a gas stop...

I found a class III Reese hitch on an Ex at the Pick 'n Pull but i didnt have the proper size socket to get the darn thing off! does anybody know what size bolt this hitch uses so I can buy the socket and hopefully make it down again before it "disapears"?(its bigger than 7/8 BTW) while i was...

hey, i've noticed a few pics of the front bumper lip removed, and i think it looks kinda cool, but do you guys see much damage to the radiator? i noticed the rad is a few inches below the metal bumper, right where the lip covers, so thats why i ask

has anybody ever installed one of these on an ex? i think it's a cool looking bumper, and a mazda is just a ford anyways... i like the wide open front better than my Ex's bumper. cheers

before and after,2" lift and 31" motomaster roughrider a/t's i wouldnt have dont it if the tires werent rubbing in the front, especially on hard bumps. after i took off the old shackles i noticed they were all bent and warped! the materials to make them cost me...

here's the situation, the information i'm looking for is so spread out and thin that i would like a few things cleared up please. (note all costs are Cdn Dollar) After looking around at local distributors, the universal lift (made by Mr Gasket) costs 45$ and the Warriors a whopping 155$ so i...

i've seen some vehicles that share the same platform that people had swapped bodies, just out of curiosity, has anybody ever swapped a mazda B series ( modern) front end onto an X? just thought about it and was curious...

in the spare tire holder that is. i used the search and came up with things like a differant size spare is alright if you put it in the front and so on, but will a 31" fit in the stock location?

i found for sale some universal lift shackles at Jeg's, but i need to know ( i have searched but have come up with conflicting answers), are the holes 1/2" or 7/16? there are no local stores that carry this (well, one can order it at the cost of 50$ CAD) but if its less with shipping by...

Hi, i'm new to this board (not to automotive forums) and i've already made good use of the search to answer many questions. i just bought a 98 XLT and was wondering if anybody has used the "Specialty Products Company" 2 degree adjustable camber/caster kit. i found a great deal on one and was...
