I recently replaced all of the front suspension parts on my car. I brought it in for an alignment on Monday and received a call that they can't get the front left side caster in spec because they are at the adjustment limit. The limits for caster on my 95 MK8 according to my before/after...

What happens when the Popular Hotrod magazine finally decides to let the Ford Modular 4V run in the Engine Masters competition? The 4V Modular takes the top 3 positions of course! I am curious to see how they got 400+ cubic inches from their engines as well as what it took to get 700+ HP from...

Is there anything special about the nuts for the swaybar end links besides being M10 1.5 pitch? I bought new end links from the Ford dealer and unfortunately they didn't come with the nuts. I removed the old end links before the new ones arrived and threw out the nuts because I figured that...

I did a search on the forum but couldn't find the answer to this. I am getting ready to work on the front suspension of a MK8 with ~100K and the strut rod bushings are shot. The upper ball joint boots are ripped and the bushings have some play so the upper control arms need replacement...

Rock Auto lists both of these as being Moog Problem Solver with the same description. The CK80053 is $5.00 more than the K80053 at Rock Auto; however at Advanced Auto the K80053 is substantially more expensive than the CK80053. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these parts?

It's been a long time since I posted as I had lost interest in my 95 MK VIII; however recently I have renewed interest in this car. The problem that I am having is that the ABS warning light on the dash is on. I figured it must be a wheel speed sensor so I tried to run an ABS diagnostic to...

It has been a long time since I have posted on this forum; however I have several problems (hopefully all related) on my 95 MK8. I am not even sure if this is the correct area but here goes. The car sat for a long time (over a year) and displays these symptoms. The Air Pump doesn't come on...

Today I had a go with an 07 Mustang and I surprised the hell out of him! Ok so it was only a 6 cylinder Mustang! I was driving my 95 MK8 and this guy was weaving in and out of traffic so I decided to play! The best that we could do is line up side by side second car at the light. I tried to...

Today I was actually driving my 06 Mustang GT with a few mods not my MK8. My best 1/4 mile time in that car is 13.10 at 105 MPH but I only ran it one afternoon and the conditions weren't great (really hot and humid!) and I had a tune since then! Well I was in the left lane with a Mercedes...

This past weekend I went to a car show/swap meet at Raceway Park in Englishtown New Jersey. One of the things that I bought was a HID conversion kit for cars that uses 9005 headlight bulbs such as the first gen MK8's. Actually it was a very hard decision because someone was selling a dual quad...

I recently checked the front end on my MK8 and decided to replace everything because it was so bad! I already bought all of the parts to do the rebuild; however after seeing the condition of the original rubber stuff after only 95K I decided that I would like to go with polyurethane bushings...

I have several cars with varying 1/4 mile times ranging from 10.05 seconds (351C 82 Mustang) to a 14.9 second quarter (95 Lincoln MK8). I resurrected the 95 MK8 (rebuilt worked tranny with a converter that stalls at about 2500 rpm) figuring that it would be fast enough as an every day driver to...
