...and all the work he's done with the IRS in these cars. I recently purchased his full bushing kit/bumpsteer-upgraded toe links/adjustable sway bar end links and got to install them two weekends back and all I can say is wow, Ford's NVH engineers really dropped the ball on the rear end on these cars.
Install was simple and straight forward with great instructions from Bruce. I had one friend helping me, with the car on jackstands, we were able to knock out the entire project over two days during the weekend. Nothing is really difficult, everything is just time consuming. The only hiccup I did have was the installation of the rear subframe back onto the car as it was a super super tight fit.
Results were simply amazing. 90% of my wheelhop is gone, I'm still on eagle F1's and that last 10% should go away when I finally drop those. The only time I'm hopping is in the rain and occasionally when I dump the clutch in first. I don't have to worry about hop anymore while driving 20 mph and punching it. This alone has made the car so much more enjoyable to drive. The car tracks so much better in turns now it's ridiculous, even without having the bumpsteer set correctly (haven't had time) it's doing this. I have noticed a little bit more gear noise, and my drivetrain clunk is slightly louder, but those are very small things I can live with when so many other aspects of the car are far and away better.
If you are on the fence about spending this much for bushings, go ahead and take that jump...buy them! There has been so much engineering and thought put into these as well as pages upon pages of positive results that the price is justified.
Thanks again Bruce :beer:
