I'm trying to tighten the knuckle to ball joint bolt bolt. Can I tighten to the manual recommendation of over 170 ft lbs by using the rack and pinion as a way to hold the knuckle in place. I'm afraid I might bust it. Art

So I'm on the international bridge waiting the usual hour or so to get through customs. When I'm on the lower part of the bridge this lady in a pontiac sunbird lets go of the brake and hits me at around 10mph. It was a big ass hit and my head went back. I though in horror of how mangled or...

Before I kill myself. I was reading the Ford manual about resetting the clock spring. In order to remove the airbag they have a special tool that goes in the connector. I don't have it. I'm seriously thinking about buying it. Can I remove the airbag and skip this step. I'm just planning...

Mines gone south with a .3 inch slop on the steering wheel. Thanks

When I was installing my rack I didn't lock the column right after I took the link off. The column turned and when i conected it the rack was also ofcenter. I made the mistake of turning the wheel (slowly) and I hear the rubber stretch. I stoped and rotated the wheel back some turns until I got...

I've got a 2000 Navigator. I know wrong forum. But its got a 5.4 a bit similar to Lightnings. Whenever I start it up I can hear water churning. If I rev it, it becomes louder and more noticeable. Has anyone experienced this? What could it be? Thanks.

I just changed my rack and pinion for a rebuilt unit. Before I changed it the steering wheel had little play. I just aligned my car and with the new rack it has a lot of play. Around 1 inch or so. I had been reading that you can adjust the rack and pinion. Has anyone done this? How is it done...

http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/07/news/companies/automakers_3q_results/index.htm I do not understand why people buy damn imports with this type of thing happening. Ford practically invented Mass Produced Automobiles and revolutionized labor and pay. Now people turn its back on it. -2600 jobs...

I broke the mirror when the window caught it. :( thanks

Hello, A Hummer cut me off and I had my tire sticking out. He managed to bend it in preety good. I need a new knuckle as my old one is bent. Thanks Art

My car orignially made a thump every time I turned out of my driveway. I changed the bushings and the thump minimized a lot. But I still hear it only during hard lock to lock parking maneuvers. I was wondering now that I changed the bushings what more can I do? Also, I noticed that the shock...

Search owns me.

Just wondering what my post count has to be in order to not be a Newb. I do read a lot of threads but I don't really have that much constructive posting to do. What do you guys think. :smmon: I've been on a number of forums and this is certainly filled with the best most entertaining members...

I'm changing the trans oil in my 4.6L GT. I removed the rubber plug. I keep turning the converter by a screwdriver but I can't find the nut to drain it. Is the plug viewable through the hole of the converter or do I have to take the little shield off exposing the converter. Thanks

Whenever I'm reversing or turning during parking I hear a noticeable thump. But its only one and then I don't hear it. Could it be the motor mounts? If so how do I tighten them. I looked at them and they are very hidden. Any ideas? Thanks.

So I'm driving home on I-10, and I'm being followed by and SUV at about 70. Speed limit is 60. I thought it was a dumb guy trying to race me. So I switch lanes. He switches. I pass he passes. All under 70. His lights were bothering me and he was following me close. So I decide to pass a car and...

Mines peeling. I need a new one. Let me know what you got.

Brand new condition. These are the pieces you put the lock and window switches. Thanks.

Here in El Paso I cross over to Juarez Mexico a lot. I usually spend 1.2 hours in a line on the Bridge of the Americas. My transmission overheats half the time. I was thinking of putting in a transmission cooler. But I was concerned now that its winter wouldn't the transmission take longer to...

After I heat up the car. My brakes just creak. Its noticeable enough to be a concern. I took the caliper of and cleaned everything and regreased the guiding pins. I still get the creak. I'm concerned is somthing straining. I don't want anything to just crack. Thanks

The guy next to me at a stoplight got into a fender bender. He was hit from behind by a truck which in turn made him hit an SUV that just passed me. I had my window down. Scared the shat out of me. One decision short of being in a pileup. That is all. :banana:
