I realize this thread is VERY old, but I'm trying to track down this car to inquire about purchasing it. Does anyone have contact with "r6redrr"...
On some cars, disc brake pads are a pain to replace - not so with the Maverick factory discs. But it does help to see the procedure the first time...
Yep - he's on the forum already and I provided a nauseatingly long, detailed account of the car's current state and everything we did while it was...

Great points and I know you're not speaking to my situation particularly, but to readers in general. Even though I'm just dreaming, I can't...
Funny thing - after I started this post I was looking around online and it's crazy how many old-school hot rodders say the Maverick rear end is...
Lug nuts are tight - checked that - but I suppose there could be something else related to the spacers causing the noise. Maybe they don't sit...
