Drained/filled the transmission fluid a couple times on my wife's escape. I was about 118k miles overdue. I also removed the airbag fuse in my fusion because the passenger airbag is now part of the big recall. I'm going to remove the airbag today so i can put back the fuse and still get...

It also works to take off the wheels and put the car on stands. Then you can use Jacks to lift the control arms. It puts the suspension under load but gives you more room to work.

You can do it on the bottom link in the rear

i used an impact on mine once or twice...i don't remember if it was the 3/8 or 1/2 drive, though.

my '06 fusion uses the same cartridge filter as the speed. i have thought about doing the spin on conversion, but i'm kinda lazy. and i've never replaced a cabin filter in my life. maybe i should check for one. also, i'm all about that purolator pure1 life for filters

Earlier today I read posts from you extolling the greatness of equal rates front and back. And you've said a million times hope wonderful and pleased you are with your suspension. That is all

got some new tires installed on my fusion. cooper cs5 tires, were $385 plus $48 to mount/balance. however, i'm getting back $205 in rebates. that puts me at $228 installed for a new set of tires. pretty nice little deal i got on 'em.

What's the point of having a highway beast if you're scared to put miles on it?

Does this shit look familiar? From my 06 fusion,. At least anchor had sense enough to add inserts if they aren't going to go with solid bushings. Didn't want to pay $125+ for a mount with poly bushings.

Make it in steel, send in pieces, let buyers weld them together

I had to use different zerk fittings so my moogs wouldn't hit in the front. I had hotchkis sway bars front and rear, cobb springs, bilstein struts and shocks. I'm pretty sure the rears were clunking by the time i traded it in

what about tracking an 83 yr old ms3?

i'm pretty slow witted sometimes, but could you put it in more of a timeline format? did you get the long block before or after the ecu fried? the long block made things worse? or it's just a coincidence? looking back, were there signs of problems before your ecu fried that have just been...

no, not yet. i'm hoping to find an f250 with 4.10s in the front that i can pillage the ring, pinion, and carrier. barring that, i'll have to buy a new ring/pinion plus a carrier. the carrier break is something in the 3.90 range and i have 3.55s now.

well, over the last couple weeks i installed new ball joints, a power steering pump from a 96 econoline, that required a new (longer) serpentine belt so i got that, a steering gear from an 03 econoline, a custom high pressure steering hose, a modified return hose plus a p/s fluid filter, and got...

damn dude, that's coming along really quickly!
