It seems that Ray still has to deal with some Gulf Coast rust, nothing like what you guys have, but still a bit crusty just the same. Come to north Texas and look at some of our vehicles that were sold and lived here their whole life. We wear them out and rebuild them - sometimes several times, and they’re still rust free when we park them for the last time.

A brilliant episode and series. At my time of life I’m never going to take a ‘wrench’ (a spanner - I’m British! 😂) to a car, but I’ve learned so much! Without seeing your daughter in the ‘X-files’ scenes (hilarious!), I would still have known you are a family man. Who else would have used the term, “Silly Rabbit”, other than a man who has a little daughter? 🤭😆 Great entertainment, regardless of one’s involvement or indeed non-involvement, with mechanical stuff. Thank you, Ray and Lauren. This one of my favourite KZfaq channels - and as my mobility is no longer what I would wish - I watch quite few! Very wishes to you all.

@seamasrigh2162 11 ай бұрын

I'm kind of amazed at how relatively easy this Mustang was to work on. The steering rack, sway bar bushings and links gave you so little trouble. Add to that the Ford engineers must've taken a day off when they did these cars - nothing obscured, ridiculously complex, yeah. amazes me how they can even look us in the face these days with their little games. On another point, those X-files sightings just slay me.

@raidkoast 11 ай бұрын

I'm imagining how back in 2003, the race oriented part of Ford still had a say in these cars. Like, put the annoying desk engineers on the damn fiesta, just keep 'em away from the muscle because someone might wanna race this in series that demand a certain amount of stock parts.

For anyone watching this.. do not leave the spring pressure held in by a sway bar link like that.. these Mustang springs are even higher tension than most others and that sway bar link can and very well will snap sending that spring flying out at you. Place a jack under the control arm and relieve the spring tension before doing ball joints on these..

@bobhudson6659 11 ай бұрын

I am a retired mechanic/machinist. In Australia for a period of time in mid 2000s we had a similar design on the front suspension of Fords where the lower ball joint is held in tension while car has wheels on the ground. I have seen what happens if the ball joint pulls out of the lower control arm - not pretty. The wheel immediately twists to sit at right angles to the car, jamming itself on the trailing edge of the front wheel opening - doesn't do much for the shape of the guard. Car comes to a screeching halt. At home I also have 2 lower ball joints off a Ford sedan where one ball joint is taller than the other - it had started to move upward because of wear and if not caught in time, owner would have found out the consequences the hard way. Lesson. Check the ball joints regularly on vehicles with that suspension design. Ford corrected the flaw in stub axle and lower control arm design in later vehicles so that the ball joint is always in compression.

I was surprised to see you go for a 12-point wrench at 3:35 to break those caliper bolts loose. I had been told that 6-point wrenches were preferred for applications where high torque was required and less likely to round off the bolt head. I am happy to see that things have returned to normal in the shop. Last week, when I watched you struggling with the reassembly of Caddy rear suspension (that Troy disassembled), I was beginning to worry about you.

@gregoryking9348 11 ай бұрын

Shop's looking brilliant (literally much brighter). Good and hard work, no doubt. Interesting [well, weirdly to me!] that the general rule with horizontal bolts that they should go with the heads towards the front of the vehicle (i.e. gives them a better chance of survival in situ if the nuts come off) never applied to the design of those knuckles. You couldn't otherwise site the ABS sensor bracket on the front side of the strut where it needs to be.
