So I cleaned it all off nice nice and turned the steering column a few times. I don't immediately see anything leaking or suggesting that. Maybe I did a bit of overthinking on it.

Hmm I guess now the question is why they leaking. The car has been under repair for awhile now so it's not like I can test it for it atm. Any other thoughts

Hope everyone's having a great weekend so far. I need confirmation on something. While doing an oil pan gasket with the k-member lowered I noticed fluid around 2 Power Steering lines. They appear to be pushing fluid thru the fitting nut similar to a bad flare brake line leaking. Took a closer...

Hey guy I know this topic has been covered in the past but I'm looking for current feedback in 2024 and not from dead posts that nobody replied to after posting once. Are there any real repercussions from removing the 10lb counterweight+brace that allegedly removes vibration from the...

I'm glad you mentioned that. I didn't wanna say nothing to seem bias. Awhile back I replaced a bunch of suspension/steering components on my 7.3 Powerstroke cause everyone said Moog was great. Parts didn't even last 2y. Absolute garbage and then I saw post few years back saying exactly what you...

I recently discovered while under the car that my inner tie rod ends are bad. They have noticeable play up/down & side to side with metal clacking sound while my bumpsteer ends remain firm no movement. Whats the go-to brand for inners. The 2 names that stand out are MOOG and Motorcraft...

Think I may hold off then. Seems like it's more for the visual appeal than performance.

Options change with the times and I recently saw people swapping to Cadillac 4 puck Brembo calipers on their New Edges. I was wondering if anyone here tried this on their Cobra and if they saw a worth wild improvement over racing rotor & pads. I currently run EBC dimple slotted rotors w/ EBC...

McLeod clearance video

I'm absolutely exhausted but I made a lot of progress today. I was a bit detailed for whomever may be reading this in the future some day. I ended up cutting 1/2" off the Pivot stud which allowed the option to get it completely screwed in. I also cut the stopper for the Fork (bump stop). I...

I need some advice I'm currently at a crossroad and not sure what course of action to take. In my last post I was struggling with a pivot stud issue with my RXT twin disc clutch. I made necessary adjustments and bench tested travel with a micrometer. I'm now faced with a unforseen clearance...

When you say shaved pivot ball you mean cutting and shortening the threads. I originally had to do a Rear main seal but was experiencing shifting troubles related to clutch engagement and noticed possibly never fully disengaging. Which lead me here.

I'll respond to everyone's message individually. But here's what I found today. I loosened the PP bolts to re-torque @ 35 ft/lbs star pattern. By doing this the inner tips of the clutch fingers went from protruding 7.1mm~ above the diaphragm ring to now roughly protruding 3.5mm which is not much...

I did. But previously I was experiencing "weird" clutch issues to the point where when I did my Rear main seal I wanted to retrace my footsteps to insure the clutch and all aspects of were done correctly. Which is where I'm at now.

Good info. The fingers did flatten out vs sitting on the bench. But is it possible when installing to torque spec it somehow didn't flatten the fingers correctly? Not exactly sure how since I did star pattern & to Tq spec. I took a look at that and wondered if aftermarket forks were low-profile...
