I'm being lazy on making a picture thread, but I can't decide if I want to message you or just wait until the thread. LoL

Well I don't want a pieace of **** Belt in my car, it's my daily driver and my other toy is too. I just don't know how long it will be until I get the newer Mustang style.

or I just can't seem to spend $150 on an aftermarket Sway Bar, because I don't see that BIG of a difference, actually none at all. :/

Just get a stock sway bar, but it shouldn't be necessary, especially on a live axle. However, if it makes you feel better, go to a local junk yard and grab one out of a similar model year car. Ford used various different sizes over the years and it's best to stay around the stock level, maybe slightly stiffer. And MM has a new one for $130, so a junk yard should be much more cheaper.

As for the tire psi, you find it on the door jam AND fuel door.

Yeah the junk yards wont let me TAKE anything off another Mustang and they barely have parts. I did find someone who has parts for Mustangs only, but he lives I think four hours away, I'll pass.

Thank you, I'm about to check that. Just got done taking my stiches out. :/

Edit: So they're all just below 35 PSI, they were all still olver 40 PSI, so I'm not losing air. Something else is wrong or I never really noticed it. I used the pen type gages, with the thing that pops out and you have to push back in. I'm getting a better gage tomarrow. Anyways maybe my PSI was never messed with in the first place, I don't know. But I do know the caps were lose and I tightened them with a Adjustable Wrench, pretty good too and now they're lose some how. Anyways I'll probably take my car into LesSwab hoping they'll fill the air up for me and not see the bald spot on two tires.

Question: Maybe it's the gruves that through my car off balance or something. I have some what slicks and low profile tires, wide as well and the gurves aren't as side (I think). Thank you everyone for the help.

Ps. It doesn't tell me the Tire Pressure in the door jam or the fuel door, unless there is codes.

I did readd it saying GT2, whatever that means.

That's strange, because that's where Ford puts it: on the door tag and of the fuel door. However, 35 is higher than what Ford recommends. Ford says 30-32 psi.

Update:
I just got my car back and it's all fixed. He put new rotors in the back, with the brake clips kit thing that I bought. He added a new belt, didn't say anything else, besides that my old one was so gone, that it would have broken really soon. He did say that my front rotors need to be rotated or get new ones.

He said that because when you brake the front like swerves to the side or whatever, I thought that was normal. lol

Edit:
Update 2:
I just got done taking it for a spin, no more noise that's for sure and seems like it takes off fsater, more reaction time. But there is a little tiny gap in the break and they're not touchy, unless that's normal. I forget what it's like to have good breaks or whatever. LOL The E-Brake seems tighter, not sure if it works better. I just can't pull it back as much. I only noticed it when I parked the car.

Next:
Rear Sway Bar
Front Bumper Support Bart
Mount up the Front Bumper
Find out my tint percentage
Paint Job (maybe)
E-Brake Cable
Right bottom door speaker.

I think that's it. Then I'm going to sell it, maybe.

Update 3:
I had my father check the brakes, because it had a small gap in them and just to make sure, well the car stops, whole front in goes down badly. LoL. I think I need new shocks or something in the back, because when you slam on the brakes and the back goes up and down, you can hear it squeak or whatever.

I just wish I could/would have painted the rotors at the same time. :/

For stupid things like a missing rear sway bar, no not really. I mean your pretty adamant about selling this car. So just list it for sale and sell it and get the mustang you really want.

I don't care about the questions at all. I just don't see why he is spending all this money on a car he really wants to sell.

Exactly, but I got a way good deal on it. It will be a long time or awhile, depending on what happens, until I sell it. Because I just got a bike, insurance on a 04 Cobra is going to be a bitch, so I'm going to work up my credit and then see how it's looking out. I still might quit my job.
