No you don't. It is a bumpsteer kit and it replaces your tie rod ends not anything to do with your ball joints. It is made mostly for lowered car to get the geometry correct again. I have a brand new set of these in the garage that I have never install. They are yours for $100 shipped. The blue color will go better with your car. Or maybe I need to just get them installed because on certain roads my car wonders around.

Thanks for the offer Scotty but a little late, already ordered the others at $131.

But a new questions for all you cooling pros. I have twice now found my coolant tank empty. I have replaced the stocker with the Canton SS tank. It has a extra outlet at the neck that I vent into a open can with a piece of hose. I have the hose going all the way down to the bottom of that can. When my car heats up and spills over, am I creating a vaccum to suck out all the coolant from the bigger tank? The only evidence i see is water water spot stains behind the can on to the engine. I have pulled the hose all the way out to just the top of the can and all is well so far.

How about we make a new little rule. No Politics allowed. I come on this small chat room to discuss Mustangs, families, and some general BS. All the political crap is left behind. You are welcome to vote for who you want to and I will do the same. Let's not have this small forum turn into a political you said she said thing. It hasn't yet been that way on this forum but I have already signed off on my Facebook account until after the election and I mute the TV channel when a politic commerical comes on. I don't have any yard signs and no bumper stickers on my car or truck.

Again vote for who you want to and I'll do the same. You won't change my mind and I won't try to change yours.


******steps off the soap box*******

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think both the taller ball joints and the bump steer kit attach to the spindle. Either one does the job but from a different point of adjustment. In either case the point is to get the tie rods to be as parallel to the LCA as possible so they travel the same over bumps and stuff.

FWIW

Heres an update for you all in here. I am currently staying in Alabama cuz that is where I got a job. Soon to be ex wife kicked me outta the house a couple weeks ago and so I was staying in a house that my gf bought and was fixing it up for her. I repainted the whole house and installed 5 ceiling fans as well as doing a little bit of fixing on the house all together.

Maybe having a "soon to be X wife" and a girlfriend at the same time might be a problem. Gary is getting to the age where he would paint 3 houses to spend some special time with a Cougar. And I am at the age now that I hate to paint at all.And you won't be able to post the type of pictures Glenn wants on this site.

Thats the thing about this GF is that she actually cares about me and doesnt like it when I spend money on anything. She wants me to save it and get back on my feet again.

Hey all. Storms knocked my power out for the 3rd time in a month.
Might be time to start thinking about a gen!

Had a little weekend get away planned just a short trip up to Milwaukee for a few days. See the brewers stadium, have a few brews.
The day we leave to head up was the day of that shooting at that temple. Pretty sure it was all over the news everywhere.
Turns out our hotel was right down the street from it!

But didnt see anything exciting, or even and news people. I wanted to buzz the mustang past where they were reporting from to get my 2 seconds of fame, but felt it might be a little disrespectful.
