REPLACING THE QUAD SHOCKS ON MY 444,000 MILE MUSTANG COBRA

[@backyardboosters9128]

I love seeing this mileage on this car. I have an 03 mustang gt I built a decade ago in high school still going strong and an 09 vette. They’re two cars I really want to keep for the long haul. You got a sub

[@ReynoldsRides]

👊🙏

[@jmitchell513]

Question.. I just ordered a new set of these. These don’t “rebound” correct? Like spring back up if you press them down like a normal strut/shock?

[@bartdaw6681]

Nice having little buddy with you as well as a wife that knows what you would like!

[@zerkfiter]

I have 01 GT 43,000 MILES on it.i recently installed bilstiens for main shock and kybs for the quad shock.just reverse of what you have.cool car.tx for sharing.

[@CAAdventure0296]

I can say his method on getting those shocks on it worked so well on my 89 mustang too, with the quad shock set up

[@arturozarate1752]

CRAZY! I think my quad shocks found a dumpster an hour after I finished installing my uppers and lowers. No use for them after ditching the oval rubber bushings in the OEM lowers.

[@baghdadwarrior039]

I just ordered KYB excel g shocks and struts. I’m looking at quad shocks and was thinking kyb again. But I did see these bilsteins and although they cost a lot more, I think it would be worth it!

[@ZacWade]

I’m curious what your goals are with this. Just restore it or drag car or autox or?

[@ReynoldsRides]

Just restore it and add a few mods along the way.

[@livefreeordie9519]

I know this is the Cobra's turn for some love but you wheeling around that jack reminded me I wanted to ask what you use to jack up the c4 and what points you use in doing so?

[@ReynoldsRides]

Good question. I’m going to make a video on it soon.

@@ReynoldsRides ah ha! I will park my butt on the edge of this seat until then! Haha

[@bernabecarreonluisjuan8605]

Is it possible if you can go more in detail regarding the IMRC!

[@aaronhauptman3060]

Love the video! Question, what is your favorite part of your mustang? Are there any quirks specific to your car? I’m curious of a car with that many miles!

[@ReynoldsRides]

My favorite part is that it’s so unique and has a really cool story. It doesn’t really have any quirks outside of the general SN95 Mustang quirks (video on that coming soon 😉). I do always have a little anxiety in the back of my mind when I drive it because of the miles (just worried the engine will blow up or something).

[@krystalwood8778]

Great Video, helped me replace my quads!! Also, nothing wrong with high mileage cars imo, what's the point in having them if you don't drive them right!? Show them love ❤️

[@channelz3363]

Lot of miles and still running good. Impressive. Guessing you will notice the shocks most off the line rather than just cruising?

[@ReynoldsRides]

Yeah, I need to do some harder pulls from a dig and see how it does.

[@laurentkoenig7724]

is it possible old quad shocks could be responsible of a contact between rear axle and exhausts ?

[@MrLafinest1]

Good question I got a noise coming from my passenger rear that I can't seem to find where it's coming from. Only on the right side when I hit a dip.

[@ranware2779]

[@jermainewilburn7471]

Can you tell the difference with new quads

[@ReynoldsRides]

A little bit, yeah. The rear end seems a little more stable.

@@ReynoldsRides thanks

[@yazedbnjr600]

does the 1996 mustang gt are equipped with the IMRC?or only cobra model?

Only the cobra's. Mustang gt 96-98 npi 4.6 sohc 96/98 cobra 4.6 dohc

[@cavdrkz24]

Torque for the bolts?

[@lukescholey5872]

That’s nuts! My 03 only has 59k miles and those are shot! Thanks for the video, just placed on order to do the job. Lifting the rear end wasn’t necessary?

[@manunava1776]

Great video perfectly timed for me to find it! I am looking to replace the original quads on my 2001 Bullitt (original owner w/ only 135k on her). I'll most likely be using the Bilstein's as well (toying with idea of using Koni's, though) & will also replace my second set of Tokico shocks/struts with the Bilstein's or Koni. Are you still happy with them? I'm trying to keep my Bullitt as original as possible, but have been having problems with the clutch cable. So at that, I just ordered an original Ford (non-adjustable) clutch cable & the Ford Racing quadrant & firewall adjuster since I don't want to mess about with installing a NOS plastic quadrant. How has the clutch feel and action been for you since having those items installed?

Really good video! You do a good job with your videos

444000?!?! What, if at all, major parts have you had to replace to keep her going good for that amount of time?

[@angelgjr1999]

Brakes, shocks, tires, and regular oil changes. These ponies last forever.

[@gegu256]

great and instructive video ;)

[@ReynoldsRides]

Thanks!

[@mikehunt8247]

I have the exact same car almost other than yours a cobra. Mines a 98 gt in rio red fully loaded for the year. What size tires are you running? I have 17 inch wheels with 245/45 tires and for some reason my tires rub on the inner fender well. Is this a common thing? Have you experienced this too? Or am I just overlooking something that's broken
