No wonder I have wheel hop...

Long before I got my '04, I'd read that Ford installed 12mm bolts on the front subframe mounts when they should have used 14s. I have read many different things from mags and performance suppliers but generally thought that typically early '03s had this issue.

Turns out my '04 built in March '04 had 12mm bolts as opposed to the correct 14s - plenty of play. I replaced my subframe bushings with Steeda's and noticed the problem upon taking it all apart.

I have no idea how much wheel hop would be improved my just adding the correct size bolts but it is worth looking into.
