    Front suspension loose, or just old?

    Steering feels okay, normal amount of free play. On a sloped surface, sometimes car goes to the lower side and I have to pull it back to straight. Is there a part, when worn out, does only this one symptom? Also, oil change places used to put grease into front suspension parts. Is this knowledge...

    Starter Solenoid problem?

    73 Cougar

    351C fmx is the most common 73 cougar type, so I saw no value in keeping it original. Now has Holley 670, aftermarket cam and pistons, 3.25 limited slip. I painted the tail light holders and part of the front grille. Ginger interior is original. Rear wheels are 16 inch.

    New member with a rusty convertible

    Just my introduction. I just bought a 73 convertible that has always been in Canada, but no one ever sprayed rust proofing. I have too much work ahead of me. The front bumper mount in the photo at the frame was rusted rotten inside and I guess when it took a hit, it spread open along the bottom...
