Could the uni joints in the intermediate steering shaft have some play and be binding?

So is Scotty Kilmer!

The piston hydraulic seal (ring seal square edge) goes into the piston cylinder housing (inner groove). The dust boot - one side sits in the piston cylinder housing groove (outer groove), and the other sides sits over the piston groove.

Typhoon233, was shudder under braking or no braking? Interested to see if shudder returns after 20 000km of driving?

Try the new Bendix General CT with titanium stripe, had the HPX but bendix were more quiet and less dusty, smooth braking too. Didnt have to bed in. Install and drive. The bendix have the Fibre Impregnated Rubber Steel shims too, to keep them quiet. Always had a vibration/humming sound when braking with my HPX pads and DBA slotted rotors. Bendix dont have these problems as yet. My experience only.

Good vids, cant wait for install pics/vids.

Press the old one out, throw away casing and all. Use hands and grease to push grooved centre bush in no casing required for front bush.

Only on ebay as a kit though, here and here

Was looking at the same thing bai6t... Superpro have a shelled front inner control arm bush part number spf2636k. Heavy duty bush installed look here

Thank you Ralph Wiggum, Bellato, -SteveR- and senna_T for your responses. I will be using Ralphs advice when I get around to doing these. Thanks again.

Hello Im interested in upgrading my front lower and upper control arm bushes with super pro. I have a BA falcon wagon. I was wondering where you would apply the grease on the lower control arm inner front bush (SPF1838K)? This bush is made up of 1 inner tube joining 3 bushes per arm. Would it be on the mating surfaces between all 3 bushes and on the outside of the inner tubes mating the bushes? Any help is appreciated.

ORSMT-2's old ghia - From what I gather its a Di Filippo 2.5 inch mild steel cat back with one centre muffler and from there it splits to two separate hotdogs to 3 inch quad tips. Need some good speakers with some bass to enjoy this one: BA Ghia I6 DiFilippo Quad Catback video by TOPGIA - Photobucket But some have said just go with 3 inch mild steel cat back, with one centre muffler and a hotdog at the rear, with a nice tip. Or you can do that same setup with a 2.5 inch mild steel catback. All with mandrel bends and a nice thick grade mild steel.

The TPS is really a mechanical device. It doesnt have any brains and is actually a dumb device. Its a bit like a volume control knob on your radio. You turn it clockwise the volume goes up, anti-clockwise the volume goes down. You cant really reset/recalibrate the volume knob. You can however recalibrate the amplifier its controlling. In the case of the TPS, the PCM reads the position of the TPS and responds accordingly. The error is only created inside the PCM. The only way to reset the error is to take battery off for 30mins and replace. A faulty TPS will send the PCM the wrong values. Replacing the TPS is the only way to fix that problem. Also, there could be a slight chance the PCM is at fault too.

Hi guys I hope changing the TPS fixes your problem. I just want to clear one myth. The foot flat to the floor and turn the key does not recalibrate anything at all. This technique only fixes a flooded engine condition. Foot flat to the floor and turn the key DISABLES FUEL INJECTORS! that's all this does. Nothing to do with TPS. This is direct from the ford manual. Hope this helps people in the future!

Hey skooby, do you know if there are similar deals going around for the XR8 your mate got for 26k??? That is an unbelievable price, hes done very well.

hahaha fkn masserati... watch out the bus is coming hahahaha!

Yep I use smartsalary for my toyota echo which cost 20k and I've leased it over 3 years, with a residual of 9k. Smartsalary are great, they are helpful and some of the people that work there are happy to hold your hand through all the form filling processes. I have put down an estimate of 20 000kms per year which puts me in the 15-25k Km bracket at 20% FBT. I am under an Employee Contribution Method, which means I dont pay any FBT because part of my lease repayments are POST tax dollars, whilst the other is PRE tax. Of course the POST tax component is calculated from your estimated KMs. Last year I did over 25 000KMs which means all year I should have been paying only 11% equivalent FBT, POST tax. However, as I've been paying the 20% all year, I get a refund of the difference (20% - 11%) at end of FBT year. This is great! But you can be tricked (as I did) that you think you'd get the whole difference deposited to you bank acoount. Instead, the amount is taken out pre-tax dollars first, then refunded at post tax. I still came out on top as I didnt have to pay any tax that fortnight!!! The residual I pay at the end of the 3 years is 9k. I have the option to sell the car and repay my debt (possibly making a profit) or I could keep the car and Salary sacrifice the remainding 9k, it all starts over again. More benefits. As people have already mentioned, any payments on the car ie. car insurance, car servicing, tyres, oil, petrol are all GST free as the employer pays the GST component. A further benefit can be gained when you claim these costs, which means your paying them using pre-tax dollars. In turn reduces your taxable income. In a way old Jonny is helping you pay for your car. Its all good! By the way I am better off by about $2500/year, its great.

AWESOME TIME! Astronomical effort. Well done!

That is just brilliant. I find these types of people very interesting and very amazing.

Looks hot. Great pics in the carpark. Very nice you and ford!

ahhh okay sorry mate if I had known I would have asked your permision, good camera work btw ← Nah that's cool post away. Obviously someone else has taken the video off putfile and hosted it on youtube. Its ok I know the dude that did it. The dude in the XR8 says that he gets the shivers everytime he sees that video. I sure hope it doesnt put him off other drift meets. Good to see the ford out there.

Hey man that's my video! I have 2 more of him drifting at hidden valley up here. I spoke to him and apparently its not too bad, needs a new bonnet and probably a new front bar. Heres the rest of the videos. I have to say he's one of the best ive seen up here. Those drift day meets happen once a month here. They are good. http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....howtopic=156647 Go there for the rest of them. Theres also a few other vids from the day.

nice work, looked like you had so much fun. turned out to be an expensive drift day

Very very impressive on street tyres. Man, you'll be peaking into the low 11s or high 10s with just a change of tyre to MT's. Crazy. Good work!
