    Michelins for 05-06 GTs?

    I've seen two GTs recently on BaT with Michelin rears installed. I hadn't heard that appropriate tires other than Bridgestones are available. Are they? Or are will they fit but not quite right?

    Getting a PPF tmr. What cautions should Technician take?

    Having had Clearplex on my windshield for at least 8 years, I can state categorically that it saved my windshield at least twice! I can strongly agree - have it done! Any visual imperfections are insignificant if the film is properly applied. As far as I know, windshields are no longer available...

    Battery Connection Anti-Corrosion Gel and Other Connections Too

    Actually, I have found it much easier to replace the battery through one of the radiator vents. It does fit. After loosening the hold down bolt and clamp, you can move pick up and move the battery sideways so its more or less below one of the vents with the frunk lid open. That way you can lift...

    Strange case of the tics

    Does this occur with the A/C on or off? I have noticed a similar noise in my car sometimes when the A/C is on - I've always assumed it's contraction of cold metal ducting.

    Battery Connection Anti-Corrosion Gel and Other Connections Too

    You should tie a string to the top of 10718 (on the diagram you posted), the battery hold down bolt. That way, when you drop it, you won't have to take the front splitter off to retrieve it! After you've changed the battery, just leave the string tied up for the next time ...

    Inspection of Takata replacement air bag installation

    I found the article in USA TODAY, this morning. I am not a subscriber and was able to read the entire thing. The issue has nothing to do with faulty parts, just faulty installations by Ford dealer mechanics. Cheers!

    Looking for power steering hose 05/06 GT

    Thanks very much for your undoubtedly tedious work to find a similar hose! I bought the genuine BMW hose thinking that because it's not a knockoff, it might be a bit larger diameter than the Edelmann you bought. Compared to the Ford original, the BMW hose seems to be .010-.020 inches smaller...

    Welcome! Seems like control arms would take quite a bit of use to require replacement. What's the mileage on your car?
