Guys my '03 ST has developed a squeak in the front suspension. Hear it almost all the time especially after getting a couple of loads of mulch yesterday. When I push up and down on the front bumper I can hear it on the passenger side front. Sounds like a dry bushing kinda sound. Any ideas on...

Has anybody ever rebuilt a 4.0 SOHC engine before or had to time the cams and chains? How labor intensive is it? I understand it takes some very specialized tools. Just wondering what a dealer would charge in hours to do something like that. Thanks gents.

Has anybody ever replaced the tensioner on an '03 ST 4.0 on the drivers side? Hard or easy? Have to pull the intake?

Is it possible to include a picture in a post? If so, how do I do it? I have one on my computer I need to include so I can better describe the issue. Thanks.

Ok, so I had a new long block installed after a valve spring broke at 265,000 miles. Now there is a misfire in #5 cylinder (P0305 and P0316 codes). Only kicks code after having sat for awhile. Checked the plug in #5 and it is wet with gas. After I start it and let it idle for a minute or two...

Guys I've noticed a slight oil leak from the rear-end where the driveshaft connects. Has anybody ever had this problem? Is it an expensive fix? I have a friend that is the store manager at one of the local Firestone stores and he says its $140 for the seal and $240 for a total service...
