Well this weekend will be one PITA thats for sure. Before I can get the 95 to the body shop for a fresh respray of Rio Red, I need to tackle my front suspension maintenance and get it aligned before the 100 mile trip. I will be trying to do it all in one day. MM CC Plates, H&R SS springs to replace the not so much of a drop eibach pro kit springs, prothane front lower control arm bushings, outter tie rod ends and lower control arm ball joints. Luckily I will be doing it on base where they have lots of useful tools. Stopping by tmrw to make sure they have a press and such to speed up the process. I really hate dealing with suspension and this car has 189k on her with alot of it being in salty roads and even some Florida weather. But it will sure save a huge bill at a shop paying for labor. Using moog parts so they should last a good while! Can't wait to post pics of the before and after with paint and a shiny new 2 1/2in cobra r hood!
What have I gotten myself into...

- Start date
i would start spaying wd40 or some other brand now on those fn tie rod end bolts and ball joint ones too. those fr's are a biiitch to break loose if they are rusted. i just did my tie rods and ball joints and DAM! i about beat the shit outta those dam things, lol.
cant wait for the pics though dude! good luck

sweet man! While you're in there take a look at your motor mounts and steering shaft. the rubber on these go out and get sloppy. my motor mounts about fell out... . lol. if you have a skilled welder on site, he can weldo your OEM steering shaft solid for you, then you never have to worry about it again. lol.
you'll love the new feel!

Yeah I eventually plan to replace the steering shaft and get rids of that sloppy rag joint. Motor and tranny mounts were jsut replaced with prothane ones so they should be good for years to come Thanks for the tips guys. I'll start spraying them every day between now and Friday I need to find a stang buddy in New Mexico lol.
