I needed a spare - I found one in Michigan the only thing is they guy made me purchase all 4.

I have three 14 Inch alloy wheels in great shape. They do need to be cleaned and polished. I did that to the one I am using as a spare and it turned out awesome!

If you need a wheel or two let me know - All I am lookign for is to get ym money out of them and move them out of my Garage. My wife hates that I have 3 sets of wheels and tires for two other vehicles cluttering up the garage.

If your out of state I'll be glad to ship them at your cost. My email is jcl11123@gmail.com[/email]

Ok,

My first order of business for my 1988 T-Bird LX 5.0 project is to tie the frame together.

Besides fabricating the stuff myself. Anyone have any advise as to any packages out there that I can use to tie the sub frames together?

Will mustang kits fit easily? Do you knwo any companies or part order numbers. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks I will take a look in the fall once I get back state side....I appreciat it. I was going to change the lower ball joints and tie rod ends anyway. Thats a bit less expensive. I appreciate th input. Never thought of the needle attachment. to grease. I hate the fact that most manufacturers stopped putting grease fitting onm their stuff....lifetime my ass.

Wish you could drill, tap and put a fitting in... I used to on old Mopars.

Hi all - Last fall I was in AZ andcouldn;t pass up the deal on a cherry body 1988 T-bird LZ 5.0. I trailered it back to MI where I live. I haven't started playing with it yet. It is an amazing daily driver and only had 86,000 miles on it. Before I start playing with power train and fun stuff or headaches which ever you prefer I noticed that over the last few weeks before I left of Afghanistan I would hear a squeeking noise when I rode over bumps.

I am not a steering suspension guy. I mean I know how to test shocks by pushing up and down on the car to see how many times it goes up and down or how soft the suspension feels but I don;t know if it is the front struts?

I could just start chaning part but that would suck. I am pretty sure it needs two new front struts but how do i test this for sure?

It is almost like the moisture in the air in MI has affected them? In AZ there was no squeak?

Any help for a not so godo car guy? Be kind because I see after rereading th equestion it sounds kind of dumb.

Thanks all.

John
