If I was going to be generous to Ford, I'd say it was a case of sloppy tolerances or poor quality control on something down there. Straight off...

A cable length adjuster would be a neat trick for the kind of clutch "cable" that's hollow and gets wet on the inside :D I didn't see any...

Relo brackets apply more torque to the axle tubes because they act on a longer lever arm, so you can't discount the relo brackets as having no...

I know you've got other suspension matters that need to get squared away first. A Watts link belongs well down on the priority list unless you...

Running rich doesn't sound consistent with the O2 sensor codes indicating that both banks are running lean. Norm

If the same code(s) returned, it points to the problem being upstream of the coil. Which could be anywhere from the harness connector to the coil...

:dunno: . . . bad fade sure doesn't say "pads are holding up great" to me. If I were you, I'd treat 'Ring laps exactly like an abbreviated track...

I think they were tweaking how fast the SVIC migrated and how fast the anti-squat varied as the car's rear ride height varied. Any difference in...

Hope you're getting notices of reply to topic, as this section doesn't seem to be busy enough to encourage "just stopping by to see what's going...

Hmmmm . . . yeah, the coincidences did seem too clear to be otherwise. I doubt that just swapping a PHB out for a Watts link would be worth 2...

Can't tell for sure whether you're joking or if you know of a certain large thread elsewhere where the value of another kind of S197 chassis...

Sometimes that's the right answer, sometimes it isn't. Just #becauseCorvette doesn't necessarily eliminate the tinkering . . . Truth is, I've...

No way to make this short . . . Seems neither one of those articles ever mentions 'rear axle roll steer'. This is where the axle actually steers...

SCGallo has basically described the PHB's geometric behavior as the rear suspension rises and squats - it really is minimal. OE PHB bushing...

They're peak g's. You could probably take average g's to be about 10% lower. My Aim Solo has measured as high as 1.36g when the tires were...

I hadn't seen either of those references before, so I'm going to have to spend more time with them. But MM's point regarding lateral axle motion...

The "UPLOAD A FILE" button works for me for .jpg files. Don't forget to hit either the full image or thumbnail button. [ATTACH] For videos, you...

I'm afraid you're going to need somebody else's help with respect to lowering (and a significantly taller tire than stock). Sorry. You might...

Your choice of tire size is also going to depend on the width and offset of those wheels. MT's ET Street page isn't as helpful as most other tire...

4" is way too narrow for a 215/55 tire. 6" is min-recommended, and you might be able to get away with running on 5.5" for short drives over a...

I'd guess "a lot". And fussier than simply bolting on adjustable rear control arms and adjusting them to suit. Depends on what you want to gain...

CF probably does a better job of damping out vibrations than aluminum. Norm

Less than polyurethane, a little more than rod ends . . . I'd be inclined to split the difference. Seems to me there'd be some way to use a...

That's the driveshaft geometry you want under max or near-max acceleration. You need the pinion angle to not match the transmission down-angle at...
