2003 FORD MUSTANG air suspension

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Rear Drive Halfshafts
The rear wheel drive halfshaft system consists of and operates as follows:
zHalfshafts (4K138) transmit engine torque from the rear axle housing to the rear wheels.
z Halfshafts rotate at approximately one- third the speed of a driveshaft and do not contribute to
rotational vibration disturbances.
z A constant velocity (CV) joint is a mechanism for transmitting uniform torque and rotary motion
while operating through a range of angles.
z CV joints at both inboard (differential) and outboard (wheel) ends provide operating
smoothness.
z The inboard CV joints are plunge- type joints that provide the axial movement necessary to
affect shaft length changes.
z The outboard CV joints have a higher angle capability than the inboard CV joints to
accommodate suspension travel.
z Inboard and outboard CV joints connect to a splined shaft.
z A driveshaft bearing retainer circlip retains the splined inboard CV joint to the differential side
gear. Install a new circlip every time you remove the halfshaft from the vehicle.
z A rear axle wheel hub retainer secures the interconnecting shaft and outboard CV joint to the
rear hub.
z The lubed-for- life CV joints use special CV joint grease. They require no periodic lubrication.
z To separate the halfshaft from the rear hub, press the outboard CV joint from the rear hub.
z To separate the halfshaft from the differential, apply a load to the back face of the inboard CV
joint assembly to overcome the circlip.
z The halfshaft assemblies are not repairable. Install a new assembly if worn/damaged.

not machine a new brake disc.
7. For vehicles with a two- piece hub and brake disc assembly:
z Match-mark before disassembly.
z Remove the brake disc.
z Using a die grinder with a mild abrasive (Scotch Brite® type), remove any rust or
corrosion from the hub and brake disc mounting surfaces.
z Align the match- marks and reinstall the brake disc on the hub.
8. CAUTION: Do not use a bench lathe to machine brake discs.
NOTE: The depth of cut must be between 0.10 and 0.20 mm (0.004 and 0.008 inch). Lighter
cuts will cause heat and wear. Heavier cuts will cause poor brake disc surface finish.
Using on- vehicle brake lathe, machine the brake discs. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
After machining, make sure the brake disc still meets the thickness specification.
9. Using a dial indicator, verify that the brake disc lateral runout is now within vehicle specification.
10. Remove any metal chips.
11. Remove the hub adapter.
12. Remove any remaining metal chips from the machining operation.
13. CAUTION: Do not carry out this step on rear drum- in-hat brake discs.
For vehicles with a two- piece hub and a non drum- in-hat brake disc assembly:
z Remove the brake disc from the hub.
z Remove any remaining metal chips from hub and brake disc mounting surfaces and from
the ABS sensor.
z Apply High Temperature Nickel Anti- Seize Lubricant F6AZ-9L494-AA to the mounting
surfaces.
z Using the match- marks, mount the brake disc on the hub.
14. Install the caliper and check brake operation.

Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to center
after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
Shimmy
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel
resulting from large, side-
to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire
contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
Wander
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel
corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.

Check that the vehicle is on level ground.
z If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, make sure that the switch is on.
2. NOTE: The vertical wall or screen must be a minimum of 2.4 meters (8 feet) wide.
Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet) from the vertical wall or
screen directly in front of it.
3. NOTE: The center of the lamp is marked by a 3 mm (0.12 in) circle on the headlamp lens.
Mark a horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen. 1. Measure the center of the headlamp height to ground and record.
2. Make a 2.4 meter (8 foot) horizontal mark (masking tape) on the vertical wall or screen at the same distance from the ground as previously recorded.
4. NOTE: This procedure should be done in a dark environment to effectively see the headlamp
beam pattern.
Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood.
5. NOTE: For SAE type headlamps, the appearance of the beam pattern may vary between
vehicles.
On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam pattern. Place the top edge of
the high intensity zone even with the horizontal reference line.
VOR type headlamps 6. NOTE: The appearance of the VOR beam pattern may vary between vehicles.
Identify at the top edge of this high intensity area a distinct horizontal cutoff in the beam pattern.
If the top edge of this cutoff is not even with the horizontal reference line, the headlamp beam will need to be adjusted. Klj . 2 ba

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Frame Assembly
Underbody misalignment can affect front and rear wheel alignment, the operation of the suspension
parts and drivetrain operation. Window glass cracks, door and window opening concerns, and air or
water leaks at the doors are often caused by improperly tightened bolts and body misalignment.
Every structural member and outer panel is designed to offer the maximum protection in the event of a
collision.

GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

In the past, when cars were simpler, diagrams were simpler. All components were connected by wires, and
diagrams seldom exceeded 4 pages in length. Today, some wiring diagrams require more than 16 pages. It
would be impractical to expect a service technician to trace a wire from page 1 across every page to page 16.
Components shown with a dashed line instead of a solid line indicate not all circuits are shown in this
particular diagram (circuits shown in system diagrams are typically applicable to that system only). The
remaining circuits connected to that component will be shown in the appropriate system that they apply to.
Today, the wiring diagram necessary to support a given repair procedure is included within that article or a
link is provided to the appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM article. For example, the wiring diagram
for a Ford EEC-IV system may be included in ENGINE PERFORMANCE and WIRING DIAGRAMS
articles for Ford Motor Co. The wiring diagram for a cruise control system may be included in
ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section for the specific vehicle manufacturer, and the wiring diagram for
an anti-lock brake system may be included in BRAKES and WIRING DIAGRAMS for the specific
manufacturer.
WIRING DIAGRAMS cont ains all wiring diagrams not in cluded in STARTING & CHARGING
SYSTEMS and ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Th is includes: Data Link Connectors, Ground
Distribution, Power Distribution, Engine Performance, Electri c Cooling Fans, Anti-Lock Brakes, Electronic
Suspension and Electronic Steering wiring diagrams. The Data Link Conne ctors wiring diagrams show the
circuits by which the various on-board computers exchange information, and the diagnostic connectors used
for diagnosis and their location. The Ground Distribution wi ring diagrams show all vehicle ground points,
their location, and the components co mmon to those ground points. The Po wer Distribution wiring diagrams
show the power feed circuits and the components common to those power feeds.
Wiring diagrams used to support the information in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMEN T are drawn in a "top-
down" format. The diagrams are drawn with the power source at the top of the diagram and the ground point
at the bottom of the diagram. Component locations are identified on the wiring diagrams. Any wires that do
not connect directly to a component are identifi ed on the diagram to indicate where they go.
