It has annoying gear whine at highway speed. It's not *terrible* but I commute in the car everyday and am sick of hearing it. If it were my weekend warrior I wouldn't care.
I installed the stop the hop kit and let me just say I've been very happy with how much it has improved the rear end. Despite this, I've concluded that I'm not happy with the increase in NVH that the differential bushing inserts are causing and am going to remove them and retain everything else...
My car now has just over 15k miles on it. Also has an MGW shifter (did it when stock too). You'd think that after 13 years Ford would have remedied this problem. I was going for a little rip tonight taking advantage of the no lift shift feature which is tons of fun. I was shifting at redline...
Yes I tend to drive the car pretty hard. The friction modifier is already added in since it's the "LS" version of the fluid so no need to add the stuff from Ford.
So recently I decided it would be good to replace the differential and transmission fluid in my car just to get all of the break in stuff out of them. A little bit excessive? Maybe, but I like taking care of my cars. I replaced with BG ultra guard LS from op mustang. Great kit with very detailed...
It is the s550. I couldn’t find anything s650 specific. As far as I know the torque specs are the same or at least similar given the similarity between the suspension components. I verified by checking the torque on the other side and the wrench clicked immediately at the correct spec.
This is an update to yesterday’s thread. I decided that enough was enough and got under my car today. The FIRST bolt I put my torque wrench is on damn near finger loose. It was the outer toe link bolt circled in black below. Mind you there were several others that needed tightening too but that...
I understand where you’re coming from. But my perspective is I’ve given them 3 chances. This is also my only car and I obviously have to go to work every day. I can work from home but having it gone for a day once a week essentially just doesn’t work for me. Same with going back and fourth with...
Funnily enough I have a stop the hop kit hopefully being shipped to me in a week or so, we’ll see if it fixes it. The only reason I’m attributing this to them is it never behaved like this prior to the fix.
So a couple weeks back I posted this thread about excessive play in the rear wheel along with a clicking from the rear end. Come to find out there has been a TSB out for quite some time on this and they replaced the rear axel and wheel bearing free of charge. I pick the car up and the noise is...
