    Steering gets squirrely over 90 mph

    Hi guys, Have you noticed how squirrely the steering gets when you get over 90 mph? Maybe it's me, but I think speed sensitive steering is needed, I bet the vette guys have it. What makes the car nice and nible at lower speeds make it over-react at high speeds. We've got some nice...

    Hi Guys, I asked this question on most of the Mustang websites when I had my '03 GT and nobody knew what they were. I've asked the local Ford parts guys and they have no clue. I've looked thru the Service Manual and can't find a mention of them anywhere. Now I get a new Cobra and I see...
