My steering column (non-tilt, non power) seems to have some friction in it. I have removed it twice, changed the bushings, etc. But it looks like the inner rod is not concentric with the outer tube and it rubs on the bushing (pls see picture). Besides the friction that I can feel, the steering...

Anyone have this issue and know what it could be? Rubber band sound when turning the wheel? Only happens at slow speed, no jerking of the wheel just sounds like rubbing. Lowered 1.5 but does not rub. 79,000 miles?

I wanted to replace the old OEM idler arm on my 65 6 cylinder w/ manual steering. I bought an after market replacement from CJ pony parts and now my camber is way off. Every time I drive down the road I have severe negative camber ruining the tires. The funny part is when I put the car in...

I have a 2006 with 100,000 miles and was wandering if the U-Joints on the steering shaft should be lubed. Since the car was new it has had a heavy feel. It does not have the steering ease of real wheel drive that I have experience in other cars. I attributed it to being intentionally designed...

Alright I have been chasing the cause of this noise since I got the car 5 years ago. The noise started showing up when I would be turning right with the car in 3rd gear at about 1800rpm. If I were to push the clutch in, the noise would go away. If I revved the engine to ~1800 rpm in neutral...

I have a 2008 Mustang GT that has been turned into an SCCA T3 Racecar. Took it to it's first test day, and first session the car ran flawlessly. Second session, the car developed a power steering issue at high RPM. Anything below ~4800RPM, and the power steering works fine. Anything above...

Hoping to leverage some AFM collective wisdom for my 3.8L '04 V6, ~95k miles My steering is nearly shot after many years of use -- nearly 2" of steering play at ~70 mph in either direction. Should I take a look at replacing the rack, the pump, or both? Currently balling on a budget so I'd...

1968 Mustang, 8" standard leaf spring, Dual exhaust, nothing out of the norm that would be in the way... I can't seem to find any images on google to reference types and fitment. They are so obscure... Not looking for over kill, just a standard rear anti-sway to help with understeer a little...

Howdy, I am a bit (actually a lot) confused about something. At the different parts sites, I see them differentiating between V8 steering and 6 cyl steering. I don't understand what the engine size has to do with the steering. I would think that they are independent. My 66 coupe project...

Hello, I recently bought a 2006 Mustang that came with 2 sets of rims/tires. I drove it home with factory rims and regular tires, I quickly took it to a wheel shop and put on very clean low profile rims with performance tires and I have noticed my wheel shakes when going around 50mph. I have...

Hello. I have a '67 Mustang with the long steering shaft gear box (power steering). I'm needing to replace it and decided to switch over to a collapsible column from a '68. I'm trying to decide which way to go with it on a very limited budget, but I'm wondering about the pitman arm. What I...

Hi guys, SO i have a 2005 GT and i'm noticing a vague feeling in the steering, like its hard to keep it within the lane at highways speeds, the car is lowered and has a bumpsteer kit. I just recently had an alignment, but i've been trying to tackle this issue for quite some time now and i...

Hello fellow forum members! This is my first post, and I normally wouldn't ask for help without properly introducing myself, but my dad and I are desperate. Last weekend we purchased a '66 T-Code mustang from its second owner. Somewhere along the line, the original owner had swapped to a 289. We...

Hey guys, I have a question for all you gurus that's baffling me and my alignment shop. What I have: I have a 1965 Mustang V8 with 5 lug drums all around that I pulled from a wrecked donor car. This car was aligned probably 5 years ago and sat up until this past year when I started working on...

Hello all, New to the forums here and before anyone says "do it yourself", I am still learning the basics of auto work/maintenance. I own a 1967 Mustang GT-A model that needs, at the very least, a power steering pump rebuild, or at the most a new one all together. I don't have the...

Hello all, I just wanted to ask a question regarding something I have noticed about my 2011 Mustang v6 with automatic transmission. When I am straightening the steering wheel after I have just executed a turn or curve right when it hits the middle where the steering wheel is straight I will...

I'm currently in the process of building myself a drift rocket, and I'm in need of some experience that could point me in the right direction for a few upgrades to the steering and the suspension. A little background on the car: It's a 1990 Mustang GT 5.0, and I bought it from a guy in...

Hello Everyone! About a year ago I upgraded the manual steering in my Mustang '67 for a Power Steering, however (twice now) it has happened that the bolt that assembles the steering wheel column to the rest of the system breaks if I ever move the steering when the car is off (emergency cases...

Ok so I thought I needed a little grease but knew that mostly they are sealed and dont need grease Buddy mechanic says that yes they need lube but they are sealed OK, so what is that??? Now we dont grease we replace I guess What he did is drilled a hole into the joint and injected some...

Hey guys I know this will sound weird, but I got my 67 mustang able to be driven for the first time in about four years. I have several thoughts I'd like to get opinions on. Is it just that I'm used to a modern car or is this thing really uncomfortable? The steering wheel hits my thighs, when I...
