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..
