"Why does my car pull to the right?" |
|
The alignment is just fine. |
|
|
I can't tell how many times I've almost bought the Hotcoat system.
|
|
I don't see why not, within reason. |
|
|
considering it has a straight axle assy and not an independent rear, I doubt it will pull.

you pretty much deserve a broken Mustang... |
|
|
I don't think it will fit in the oven... |

Oh, I got what was coming to me. *I'M* not the guy who broke it, but I could've put my foot down and said "Oh hell no, you Blazer drivin', tow-strap-hookin' Neanderthal!" At least my stupidity is compensated with tools from "Oh Now You've Gone and Done It Dumbass, Inc". I'm a huge shareholder. |

I can't believe you did not think of the mounting of the bar.

I can. |

Rust on a 2005
Dang I don't miss that crap. My eight and ten year old cars don't have a lick of rust save under the hubs where the condensation from the hot brakes sometimes collects. I grew up in Chicago with rust and just figured since I joined the Navy and started living in warmer climates that they just figured out how to treat medal to prevent rust. |
|
You should be severly beat for driving a 2005 mustang in the winter. Salt, rust, snow, ice, those are not good things for an American car. |
|
Every differental on a 2005 Mustang I've ever seen is rusty. Mine looked like that before a single grain of salt ever hit it. It's not painted, and cast iron is gonna rust. Even in California. I'm going to pull the rear off, blast it and powdercoat it sometime this year. This is also my stang's last winter. Truth be told, I haven't driven it in a couple of weeks. Rust scares me. |

The car is driven up on ramps and pressure washed immediately after being driven. It's also it's first and last winter. One year of mild snow and salt (it's been a light year) isn't going to hurt a thing. I've seen cars around here driven daily for 10 years with nary a spot of rust. The owners are quite meticulous, though (like me). At any rate, the plan is to park it as soon as I get a beater truck. |

Speaking of Mustangs:
Once upon a time, my dad purchased a 1986 Ford Mustang LX four-cylinder. POS didn't even begin to describe it. No working tachometer, radiator troubles, no working door lock, and the trans went out. |
|
Mine isn't. It's painted, and the cover is shiny. A couple brackets that attach to it are rusty though. |

Ahem. Speaking of Blazers, The Blazer that pulled me out has a broken temp guage, burns oil, a hood that shakes, sloppy steering, horrific gas mileage, an out of balance driveshaft, a slipping transmission, interior rattles, fading brakes, and alot of wind noise. So, what's your fucking point? Comparing a new 300hp Mustang to an 86 Fox body with a 4 banger, is kind of asinine. Further, drawing comparisons between a Mustang of any vintage and a Blazer - two COMPLETELY different vehicle types - is overwhelmingly retarded. For the life of me, I will NEVER understand people's insistence on perpetuating car "A" vs car "B" arguments. KNOCK IT OFF. Do you people have any idea how ridiculous this crap is? If you've got detailed fleet service records, talk to me. Otherwise, STFU. |

Well, I'll be damed. 05? How did I get shafted. |

More on the rusty differential:
I'm reading this month's issue of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, and they have pictures of a suspension upgrade on a CLEAN 05. The underside of the car is spotless. Hell, there isn't even a smudge on the stickers affixed to the diff. It's rusted just like mine. I'm suprised somebody here owns one that's actually painted. Gunlovr8: Are you SURE your is painted, and not undercoated or something? Wierd. |
|
EVERYONE knows you hook it around the axle near the diff......
|
|
I think the rear diff is different on the V6. Hmmm.... Well, ya learn something new every day. |
||
|
Well, almost everyone... Keep kicking me while I'm down, guys. |
|
|
For future reference, watch out for the brake lines on the rear axle.......
|

The last time I have had anything to do with a tow strap and a sportscar we used a 1996 Camaro Z28 to tow a busted up prelude from WMUs campus to a highschool autobody shop. (approx 10-12 miles). The sad thing is that the camaro still out-accellerated my car, by a lot. |

|
Ouch! |

|
When I buy a new vehicle I get under it and paint all of the bare metal parts. There are alot of them.

Just take it to Brokedick Mountain. They can fix it, and your rear end too.
