Ford guy,

My friend bought an older Naf Cobra. He had alot of body shakes etc. We lifted it and torqued all of the engine mounts, body mounts, and exhaust header bolts. I couldn't believe how loose they were. We then went through the suspension, transmission mounts, rear end mounts, and anything else with a bolt on it. They were loose too.

I think these cars need to have a good run through and inspection annually. These cars rattle as it is and the bolts loosen. I check mine often and find a few here and there that need a little torqueing.

If you hear alot of squeeking try to wd40 the bushings..they tend to do that over time.

Hopefully this will help..

Default hey FORD guy

I own a shell valley.After looking and driving all and seeing the manufacturing plants for 2 years I went with SV.I don't know what the rattles where in the thread before but none of the sv cars had rattles, body leans or any of the problems others have.I was so impressed by the service and thickness of the body and how it was molded and bonded that I called DANA at SV and ordered it on the spot.You won't be sorry.If you went to this past carlisle show you would have seen my blue with silver striped car at shell Valley booth with the all chrome 427 dual quad engine on display.Good luck with your choice.
