There's another brand out there, Whiteline, that is fairly new to the S197 suspension scene. They've been getting really good reviews on their products but I don't have any experience with them to recommend or not recommend them.

The ball joint went out on my LCA. I have plans to replace the whole LCA on both sides as the bushing is bad on the one with the bad ball joint too. And since the car is about 10 years old and am I am replacing one LCA, I thought I would go ahead and do both since I doubt I will get another 10 years out of the other one.
Thanks for the update.

Just picked up my baby today,if you have any doubt about rattle or front end play put in the Gt500 mounts. Really tightened up the front end very good mod on a high mileage convertible, ready for the next trip .

I got mine from American muscle, they just called them GT500 Strut mounts. You can see in the picture how much beefier they are compared to stock. $107.97 for the set & an hour labor to have them installed. You should have the front tire alignment checked, mine needed tow in adjustment. No more klunking & wow did it ever tighten up the front chassis to road feel. If you even think this could be an issue on your ride it is a small investment that can be a serious handling upgrade when paired with a shock tower bracket . Makes you want to drive it.......

1996 mustang help
So I started experiencing my*rpm*rise more than usual, as if the gas were going on its own when it's on neutral or on any gear. When I'm shifting to 3rd gear...during the transition(clutch) my*rpm*goes up to 2000-3000..but then settles as the shift is changed..it happens on every shift. I cleaned out the throttle body, and replaced my iac and I don't have a vacuum leak...but what I did notice is when I disconnect the electrical part of the iac, a turn it on, the cars'*rpm*works perfect (1000)..but as soon as I connect it, it begins to rise (1,500-2000).. please help.

With the engine running - unplug the Accel. Pedal plug from the connecting wire harness near the pedal. see if it idles normally.
Also , it will probably throw a CEL - so be prepared to use your OB2 reader to clear the code when you hook everything back up.
