A few random questions, please help.

Postby Dillzy » December 18th, 2009, 12:09 pm

Gonna tackle my suspension problem and a few other little things in the next couple of weeks and i just have a few questions i need some help with.

1) I currently have superlows on the front and ultralows on the back but i need to change the shocks as the standard ones don't really work anymore. Found these on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FALCON-EA-EB-ED-EF-EL-LOWERED-SHOCK-PACKAGE-NEW_W0QQitemZ270210994559QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ee9d4917f , they seem to be pretty cheap but i think they might be made for superlows. My questions is will they work on the ultras or will i need to get even shorter shocks?

2) I've also realized i'll need a camber kit for the front, again found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FALCON-EA-to-EL-CASTOR-CAMBER-ADJUSTING-KIT-NEW_W0QQitemZ220386997332QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item335016b454 will this be enough or will i need more pivots? And how hard are they to install?

3) Got a red led dash kit too, is there a write up on how to install them on the site at all??

4) There is alot of movement in my gear selector and i've been told it could be due to loose gearbox mounts?? Does that sound right and how do you fix it? Cost?

Any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

3. just pull off the dash fascia and pull out the dash cluster and replace the 6 globes that light up the dash.

With the gear selector, I take it you mean auto? If so it's most likely worn out bushes in the shifter. Either put new bushes in it or get another shifter from the wrecker. This is where the bushes are

If you can do it yourself, it's cheap as. This should help. EA-EL is all pretty much the same
