- Finally fixed the loose steering wheel problem I was having on my 2003 svt cobra with the solid shaft I had installed in the car. We modified it to work as it was originally intended to but was a poor quality part. But I finally got rid of the dead zone play in the wheel.

I've been dealing with this issue in my 98 cobra for awhile now. I've done everything I know to do to fix it. Recently I just bought a MM aluminum rack bushing kit and that helped it drive more straight but still has slop in the wheel. I guess I need to upgrade to this solid steering shaft.
Wow, Kyle - that is nuts! I will definitely not be going with Flaming River if I ever have any problems with my steering rack. I'm glad you figured it out. I wish all companies were as stand-up as FTBR. I had a local Mustang specialist steal my ABS sensors off my differential when I did the IRS swap. I ended up spending another couple hundred bucks to source them off eBay. I'm also not surprised FTBR figured out how to fix your steering. James is amazing. I should hire them to figure out what my driveline vibration is.
Thanks Adam. Dang that sucks
I did the maximum motorsports steering shaft several years ago. No issues, but now I want to go check.
Im sure yours is fine. Wish I would have gone with theirs in the first place
Thanks for the share, I bought a 99 GT with the same deadzone. I like to do HPDE's in my cars and that deadzone ain't gonna cut it. I definitely relate to the delay in steering when hitting a bump or crown in the road. I just bought the Maximum motorsports shaft and solid rack bushings, I will post up before and after wiggle and also measure inner to outer shaft dimensions.
Hows the MM shaft treatin’ ya?
@@Youretryingtoohard in the middle of installing cams, havent drove the car yet. I will post a video after.
No flipping way Bro! I’ve been chasing my tail on this for countless years! I had a UPR one on mine. Took it off and put the Flaming river on on. It had less dead zone than the UPR one. Just put my UPR in a vice. All kinds of slop between the extended shaft. I changed everything chasing this. Just crawled under mine and watched the FR one do the same crap yours did. Thanks buddy for figuring this out.
your welcome dude! Glad I could help!
Just had my 04 cobra come back from body shop. It was side swiped and inner tie rod bent and lower control arm outta wack lil bit so they replaced that and inner tie rod. And I noticed the steering has same issue as yours. That dead zone with a slight play but not as much … I’ll crawl under to see what’s up. Good informative video 👍
Damn I'm glad you where able to figure that one out. Props to FTBR. Mine has a lot of play like that in the shaft before it feels like it would actually engage and turn the wheel. Being that I have not had the car for very long yet I'm still figuring out what are actual problems and what's just a typical " Cobra thing" I know I have the really bad "cobra clunk" in the rear but the plans are in place for resolving all of that
Thanks! Me too. The cobra clunk never really goes away. It's better with bushings tho
@@KyleSVT Bushings are on the list of rebuilding the entire IRS
very good!
What a cool fix. Never heard a man say "shaft" so many times in one video though 😅👍
😂
Thank you
Mine does the exact same and I only have 8k miles. I kept wondering maybe my bushings are bad blah blah blah this explains it lol thabks
Great video and info as always! Nice job Kyle!
Thanks James!
💪
Left a comment 2 weeks back on a video of yours about the 04 cobra I was picking up with only 26k miles on it. I got screwed with this purchase. Drove it about 30 miles after I got it and had to tow it already, found out it flooded it self couldnt figure why on my own. Now its at a Mustang shop near me and they are baffled thought it was a tuning issue but turns out its not. They are going to start looking into the injectors, coil packs, ecu, ecm etc... Dealership aint helping me out at all and I couldnt get them to give me a warrenty with it. So after spending 38k on it i'm looking at another 5k to get it running right. Sure did put a bad taste in my mouth already just praying it aint serious issue
Dang that sucks man. These cars are old and things just brake on them
@@KyleSVT Very true. Just sucks I wanted one of these cobras when they first came out and finally got one. Now probably gotta wait another 2 or 3 weeks. Thanks for the vids though i'll enjoy them while I wait for mine to return
Anytime man! Hope everything works out with the car
If it has factory fuel system then I would immediately have them change the frps. It will flood the vehicle out when it goes bad. And they go bad. It’s actually one of the cobra things lol. Had it happen to me twice. Left me in the side of the road both times. I now carry a spare with me. It’s a 2 minute job that will leave your car stuck if you don’t have the part or the tools. Part is typically around $100-$130. Good luck.
@@jeffcole9323 frps? I'm thinking that means fuel rail pressure sensor. If so that is the first thing i replaced. I'm still waiting to get it back. They found someone tapped into the main computer on the passeneger side and some of the taps and wires were loose and poor. Fixed that and were putting some new injectors in it as of monday. Really killing me waiting to get it back lol
Is it spostta float?
When are we gonna get a installing guide.
Probably never. It's super tight in there, idk if I could get a camera in there. But do not buy the one from Flaming river go with the maximum motorsports one
Very nice
Thanks dude!
This is probly a long shot but by any chance do you have a stock/factory tune for your cobra you’d be willing to email? I lost my tune and need help I’ll cashapp you $20 for gas 😭😂
I do not sorry brother
@@KyleSVT no problem bro appreciate it ✊🏼
np dude!
