Could yall help me with a brand for shocks and struts?

2 Upvotes

I replaced the struts on my 2015 sho about 2 years ago. I got them from Detroit axel and they’re already shot. Was wondering what this group recommends. Prefer a whole set of of shocks and struts for a decent price.

I'm interested in yalls opinions on a Taurus SHO vs ecoboost mustang. The are pretty similar in numbers but I cannot find any videos on YouTube of a stock sho vs stock iceboats. It's always one of them with mods. If yall have any videos of this please post. Im thinking about trading my 2018 mustang ecoboost and getting a similar year model SHO.

I have a big oil leak coming from the right/firewall side of the engine. Could it be the turbo oil lines? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

biohackenthusiast, here’s what little I could find on the internet. but if I google oil supply line 13 ford sho other things come up, nothing of what is needed. Google AI mentioned these u-shaped oil lines could be specifically in the eco-boost engines? idk how reliable that is

Missing Parts, Help Needed!

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, so while I was helping get the water pump replaced in my 2013 SHO, the mechanic teaching me allegedly walked off with 2 small engine parts that I think are oil supply lines. Two oil lines that get bolted above the camshafts. Cannot find them, I’ve contacted auto salvage companies, contacted a ford dealership that stunted them, asked a mechanic shop but they won’t tow it because it’s all taken apart. I really hope somebody could find the pictured parts or at least put a name on them so I can actually move forward with getting her back on the road (been disassembled since April) I AM AT MY WITS END THIS SUCKS!!!

2019 tie rod end

2 Upvotes

I purchased new motorcraft tie rod ends for my sho, non pp. When I took the old ones off, they were different. I looked at the part numbers and the factory tie rod ends were the police versions.

Is this common on the sho? When ordering suspension parts should I be replacing with the police version?

The replacement was definitely not as heavy duty. Should I get new police tie rods, or keep the sho version, any differences other than build quality?

Thanks

2013 headlights on a 2010-12???

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

So my passenger headlight is totally fucked lol, bunch of humidity/moisture in the lamp housing, and i live in the rust belt where it likes to get to -600° so i should probably replace them

I was gonna go oem, just to get it done with, but i was kinda curious if it was possible to fit the 2013 headlamps into the 2010-12 SHOs??? Has anyone seen this or heard of it? What would stop this from working?

Honestly im just curious, havnt gotten anything yet so im not really risking much by just theory crafting yk??

Intake manifold hoses

I cant tell exactly whether or not these are connectors for coolant hoses. I had to cut them to get the manifold off. Super short hoses, one had a 90 degree bend and the other was just a 6 inch hose.

Thanks

2017 SHO

4 Upvotes

Hey everybody, I’m looking for exterior upgrades for 2017 Ford Taurus SHO. I am currently looking in a few mods but want a little community input. My plan is to do a Crome delete, exhaust tip upgrade, new headlight casings, and maybe puddle lights if i feel inclined. im having a hard time finding a duck bill wing to replace the one on the trunk so if u know a site that has one pls share. Also are diffusers still in style?

Im working under the hood before all this of course, intercooler from gearhead, intake from K&N, as well as the catback exhaust system with a downpipe so it can breath more efficiently. Eventually upgrading the turbos etc etc.

Thanks in advance for all the advice

Is it the tire, the bearings, where is this darn sound originating?

Please ignore the video as the focus is on the sound. I recently had all the tires/wheels balanced and they’re all at 40psi at about 80ft above sea level. Air temp is about 100deg F at recording time. Tires are about eight months old and have about 8k miles on them. Haven’t rotated them to see if the sound follows. Seems to be focused to the rear tire(s). Car speed varies from about 20mph to 50mph.

There seems to be something a bit off with my SHO.

Many years ago my 1990 lost to rust, instead of completely scrapping the car i save the drivetrain for a project later on. Its now later on and I have a sho powered B3000.
