    Rear suspension clunk after installing Steeda suspension. Thoughts?

    I recently installed steeda dual rate springs, adjustable shocks, competition sway bar kit, and a few other odds and ends. The car already had the stop the hop kit. I can't seem to track down a clunk I've been having. It's intermittent, only happening on roads with a bunch of small bumps in a...

    Installing full Steeda suspension this weekend. Question about clocking bushings.

    So I’m installing Steeda adjustable shocks and dual-rate springs on my car this weekend. I have seen that when you lower a car you must “re-clock” the bushings. There’s a whole thread on the S550 forum here. I assume given the similarities our cars are similar. The front seems pretty straight...

    Help me choose a suspension setup!

    I think I'm gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on a full suspension overhaul soon. The car is my daily but will also see some track and autocross use. My primary goals are to get rid of the floatiness at high speed along with some of the body movement upon hard acceleration and braking while...

    MT-82 Counter Weight Rattle? Or issue with MGW?

    As some of you may know, the MT-82 D4 transmission has a counterweight on the side. Ever since installing my MGW shifter, I have an intermittent rattle when engine braking or at high rpm’s that I can stop by putting my hand on the shift knob. It sounds similar to this video but not anywhere...

    Does anyone know the part number of the little aero strake in front of the front wheels?

    I hit debris on the highway and it completely snapped off.

    Curious about McLeod RST. Has anyone installed one yet?

    My car, of course, has the intermittent high rpm lockout issue going into 3rd. Along with this, the clutch tends to behave weirdly after hard driving. I've considered looking into a RST (my car is my daily so don't want the more compromised nature of the RXT) but it seems that the only people...

    Dealing with a vibration over 100mph. Need some help.

    Running into an issue with a vibration above 100 mph. It’s a low buzz that kind of sounds like you’re going over rumble strips really quickly. It intensifies with speed. This started after I installed the Steeda stop the hop kit and my dealer replaced my rear axel/wheel bearing under warranty...

    Sanity Check Needed on Steeda Stop the Hop Kit

    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...

    3rd gear lockout/grind continues to be alive and well on these cars equipped with the MT-82 + mini ownership reflection after 15k miles.

    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...

    Replaced my differential fluid at 15k miles, definitely think it is good practice to do so.

    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...

    Update to yesterday’s post regarding unsettling motion in rear suspension. DEALER LEFT BOLTS UNTIGHTENED

    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...

    Issue after getting rear axel and hub replaced. Dealer refuses to diagnose.

    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...

    High RPM misfire, dealer says it’s normal!?

    So I’m on an on ramp yesterday and accelerated hard. Top of third gear (little under 7k RPM) and I get a blinking check engine light. Immediately shift into 6th and before I got the chance to pull over it went away (probably around 30 seconds). No loss of power or anything out of the ordinary...

    Excessive play in left rear wheel. Connected to rear knuckle recall?

    I’ve noticed the “chirping” that was referenced on another thread here upon moving either forward or backward from a stop. Not being able to just leave it alone, I jacked my rear end up to see if I could find anything obviously wrong. To my dismay, the left rear wheel has some pretty excessive...

    Question for mechanics and fellow manual drivers on rev matching.

    It's been a great almost 12k miles in my car and I've really enjoyed the manual. I kept auto rev match on for the first 4k-ish but then decided to try doing it myself and it just elevates the driving experience to a whole new level in my opinion, especially when you get them perfectly...

    Excessive Interior Whistling/Rattling and Exterior Noise

    I’ll start this off by saying that I love this car and it is a ton of fun. I’m fairly certain it’s an early build as it doesn’t have auto stop start and I’ve seen that they were running into production issues with it at the beginning of production. There are two things on the interior that have...

    Does anyone else have a creaking noise coming from the rear passenger side of the car?

    I can’t track down what’s causing the issue. Dealer won’t diagnose because the car has to be at about 85-90mph for it to be present.
