    Power Steering Fluid

    I was wondering if it is alright to put Mercon V Transmission fluid in my power steering pump?The Owners Manual just says Mercon ATF , it does say not to mix the two. I have read some posts were people have put Mercon V in their PS pumps. I flushed my Transmission yesterday and have some extra...

    Body Roll

    I'm interested in the Addco Bar that is talked about on earlier posts. Since my '03 ST is a 4x2 do I just ask for that year. PLus I was also wondering if replacing the front sway bar bushings to the polyurethane bushings would this help.

    Body Roll

    I know this is a top heavy truck with a narrow wheel base, but I know not every top heavy vehicle sways like the ST does. My wife has a Nission Xterra and it doesn't roll like the ST. I know what some of you will say get a different truck, but I like the ST. I will try the right tire psi thank...

    Body Roll

    I replaced the shocks with the Monroe Reflex. I replaced the sway bar with the EE sway bar. I'm still not happy with the way the ST rocks back and forth at low speed cornering. Is this a tire issue or suspension problem? I still have the Goodyear Wranglers on, looking to replace soon.

    Tire Size

    Today I went to get new tires put on my mom's car. I talked to the guy about tire sizes for my ST. In his computer it listed two sizes for a ('03 XLT 4x2) 235/70/R16 and 255/70/R16. He said the size would not make a difference in performance, but it does make a difference in the price. The...

    Firestone

    I am thinking about getting some Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Does anyone have them on their ST. They got excellent ratings on Tirerack.com.

    EE Rear Sway Bar

    I decided to order the EE sway bar today. I talked to a guy named Dave. He said they can't do the discount anymore and that they may have to raise the price to $189 + s/h. He also said that the group buy they had in the past was because they ordered to many of them and they wanted to promote...

    Interesting web site

    I thought some of your guys that like to pamper your ST, might be interested in this site.

    Just curious

    Since I'm still new at this web site. I was wondering how the group buy works. There is 63 of us that want the rear sway bar and nothing is happening. If someone contacts the sponsor would something get done.

    Goodyear: bad ride

    AndyG, I did replace my stock shocks already with Monroe Reflex about a month ago. Plus I rotated one side of the truck to see if it was just one tire, but it still bounces. I also had the alignment done two weeks ago.

    Goodyear: bad ride

    My stock Goodyear Wranglers RT/S 255/70/R16s ride like they are out of balance, they bounce at all driving speeds. I have read the opinions of some about the quality of these tires. They only have 17,000 miles on them, would having them balanced fix the problem.

    Squeaking sound

    Thank you. I oiled the tailgate hinges and latches. It seemed to do the trick.

    Last Day

    Yes, you are right it is for 4 struts, sorry $20 will do also.

    Last Day

    Monroe is offering a $90 mail in rebate if you buy 4 shocks. But today is the last day.

    Squeaking sound

    New member here, I just wanted to tell everyone what a wonderful website this is. I bought my '03 ST earlier this month. I have learned a lot from this website. I do have a concern with a squeaking sound coming from the rear of the truck. When I have the rear window down I can hear it, it sounds...
