It indeed can be confusing these days. Today's steering commonly uses "fly by wire". Yes there are mechanical connections at the chassis level that must be correctly adjusted, but the steering wheel does not employ a hard, mechanical interface with the chassis steering linkage. His issue...

I'm a bit surprised the OEM tie is white instead of a material containing carbon black for UV longevity (small amounts of sunlight do get to that location) But maybe the newer materials, albeit white) can handle the elements better than they used to.

I hadn't thought of that but indeed, it does look a bit high. I'd say 1.5 to 2" lower would probably be aesthetically better.

Of course it was dirty...in DFB5.0's eyes especially. :cwl: Congratulations! I'm sure this car will remain in best of shape....even better than when it left the factory.

Great question!!!!! Those strut towers for one thing are anything but stock. There's definitely some beefing up of that structure and they don't reply on spot welds. Of course the underside K-member is probably far from stock as well to handle race conditions.

Here's a pic of the convertible bracing installed on a S550. Actually, is a link to even better pics for those interested. https://mustangforums.com/articles/l-a-auto-show-flips-over-flipped-mustang-gt-convertible/

Those are for the tower brace....which your car apparently did not include that option. But if you ever do decide to add the brace, wa-la, you have bolts in place already.

Under warranty? Let the dealership chase down and fix the problems. If they cannot, depending on your State, multiple documented issues can invoke the lemon law.

Oh No, @DFB5.0...now I have to start polishing up my mower to keep up with you. :facepalm:

Here's the document from MA on the requirements...

I just read a recommendation in another thread to apply a quality ceramic coat on them and the dust will be easily cleaned off your wheels

I agree. And while to me it seems alright to have a large "honeycomb" feature in the upper/lower center, with smaller honeycomb feature in the lower outboard locations, having small honeycomb mesh in everywhere else but the lower outboard locations just doesn't look right for some reason.

On questions like this I go to prominent reputable aftermarket manufacturers (hitches in this case) and see what their year range fit tables say for a specific model number. In your case, if they bridge from 2023 into 2024 in their application tables, I'd feel certain I could reuse one from an...

Driving a Prius fast is like what I do with meals. I am light on the main meal and drink calories so I can splurge on dessert. If I had a Prius, I might even use the same justification to go fast. :) Oh wait....what did that have to do with garage dust? Oops! I digressed.

I recently watched a Jay Leno's Garage episode featuring the 1964-1/2 Mustang pace car. In that episode Bill Ford made it crystal clear...his vision of a Mustang is and has been a car with a V8 AND a manual shift.

Just a side note for those living in the rust belt as I have a history with.....I recommend addressing "surface rust" first. That's because surface rust is evidence that moisture already has access to the metal in those spots. Folks in the rust belt or along coastal areas understand how...

When a business has no phone number, no street address listed, and only has a form for contacting them, I'm out. I learned the hard way years ago, there a good chance they are not legit. It's a one way street. They want your information and money and that's their focus. I'd take my business...

WHAT? Hand tight for suspension parts is no longer the spec? :facepalm: Someone needs to tell the mechanic then. :shock:

Glad you got it figured out and fixed before serious damage or even personal injury occurred.

Your professional photographer made it look like your car has a satin wrap....which actually, I am liking the look of.
