[Orange 94]

Okay, so I'm trying to make a "guide" for people new to sn95s or are looking to buy a sn95.

So in this thread please submit common problems with 94-04 Non Engine Related.



Once I have enough information I will put together a "guide". I will also make updates to it, so if you have any addition info to add please pm me.



Thanks guys!

So after thinking about this one, I thought of a common problem with the 2v, 4v, 5.0 and v6's.
Now this might not be what you are specifically looking for, but a huge problem with mustangs 94-04 is the "crystal white" paint,
which will undoubtedly peel and flake off.
The best solution i can offer is that you take immensely good care of it, seal and wax it often! Know that you will eventually bite the bullet and
have the car repainted.

Quad shocks may cause rubbing issues depending on suspension and tire size.
This usually happens when the rear is lowered more than 1.75" and when the rear tires are 315mm or larger.

You can solve this issues by flipping the quad shocks for more clearance or removing them completely.

E-brake cable rubbing driveshaft- Can be caused from worn rear control are bushings.

Inside fan only blows out defroster vents- usually caused from a broken vacuum line that runs along firewall

clutch cables love stretching or snapping at the worst times

door seal have a life of 10years if not stored and taken care of. you will be replacing these

power seat motors or shafts love to crap the bed and can be expensive to replace... get a manual seat rack if possible

Crystal white is notorious for that? Mine is chipping a little but I figured it just happened with age. Interesting to know that it's a common problem. I'll be painting it eventually anyway though.
