    Front suspension idea

    From what I looked into, that ball joint will work for the Pinto/Mustang II spindles, classic Mustang spindles (both upper and lower), and lower ball joint for SN95 spindles too. This ball joint is also widely used on stock car racing, so they make alot of upper control arms for dirt cheap...

    I did some more reading up on the Ackermann angles today, specifically reverse Ackermann. I came to the conclusion that in everyday passenger cars, perfect Ackermann is preferred. But for a race driven car (like the way I drive), going with no to reverse will actually help traction due to the...

    stonecoldtx, your link show exactly what I'm referring to. The first picture shows the steering arm angle going towards the center of the rear axle. If that axle were to move, ie.. longer or shorter wheelbase, then the angle will still be pointing to that old spot, therefore, ankermann angle...

    I was reffering to wheelbase change as in my 1967 Mustang has a 108" wheelbase, and I'm talking about using SN95 spindles, which a SN95 Mustang has a 101.3" wheelbase.

    Wheelbase should affect ackerman angle. From what I've read, ackerman angle is measured from the pivot point through the steering point, towards the rear axle. Optimum point being dead center of the axle. Well, if the wheelbase changes, that will make the optimum point be perfect, or not even...

    More food for thought. Since my Mustang has a 108" wheelbase, and the SN95's have a 101.3" wheelbase, using the SN95 spindles will throw off the ackerman angle wont it? Assuming the factory did the proper angle in both cases. The FOX body Mustang has 100.4" wheelbase, yet other FOX body's...

    I just found this note on Jeg's website talking about AJE control arms: Note: Installing 1979-93 A-arms on an SN-95 chassis (1994-Up) can pull the wheels in 1'' and requires more camber adjustment than a factory setup can provide. This would be exactly what we need, SN95 K-member, with...

    Front suspension idea

    I just discovered a problem. The front track on my '67 is 58", and on a SN95, its 1534mm, or 60.39". There may still be a way to use a custom k-member, but modifying a SN95 will cause the lower arms to be 2" to long (1" on each side). Could it be possible to use a FOX k-member design? I...

    Well, we haven't heard back from 10secgoal, so I just shot an e-mail over to AJE Racing to inquire about selling just a K-member to fit my 67, and if it can be made to accept SN95 lower control arms.

    bnickel, Thanks for the info about the R&P's, you gave me new info to go searching on. As for the spindles, I don't know about "optimum" geometry, but it's got to be fairly descent to work for this setup. And with the use of SN95 spindles, the aftermarket is available with dropped spindles...

    I have discovered an error, but have 2 solutions: In my orginal post, the upper control arm doesn't have any adjustment. If going with the k-member, and SN95 lower a-arms, they don't have adjustments either. Well, one solution is to change the upper control arm to one like TCP's, just prefer...

    10secgoal, please provide more info on the AJE Racing k-member. While looking at their website, I only see the complete kit, yet I saw your other thread, and it would be perfect. Do they make a k-member to fit fox or SN95 style a-arms, or custom? Do they sell the k-member by itself...

    Front suspension idea

    I've looked into the AJE kit, its what got me thinking of the k-member idea in the first place. Its just they are expensive (I'm on a married with kids budget), and I really want to keep the upper and lower control arm setup. Overall, better handeling, if setup correctly. In order to have the...

    That spindle adapter is sold by factory five. https://factoryfiveparts.com/product.php?productid=16281&cat=255&page=1 , its ment for Cobra kit cars to use a SN95 spindle, while still using upper on lower control arms. Its just what I'm thinking, because properly mounted control arms will out...

    Front suspension idea

    Another thought, use adjustable upper control arms, since the lowers will be aftermarket SN95's, and modify a SN95 k-member to fit. With the modified k-member, you know the control arms will be in the proper location, and it will be already set up for the R&P. The idea would be to do...

    Ok, this is my idea. 1. Start with a good coil spring, around 620lbs, 1" drop 2. Go with an upper control arm that will allow a 1" drop, and still use the spring perch, like this: 3. Use a roller spring perch. 4. Use an SN95 spindle, with an adapter like this: 5. Use SN95 aftermarket...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Exactly what I wander. Because the SN95 spindles are ment for front steer with the R&P, these would have to be flipped from left to right. But will this work? I really can't see a reason why it shouldn't.

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    I don't know about the front steer vs rear steer problem either, I myself would like to know about swapping from left to right. But I have another spindle idea. What about using an SN95 spindle, with this: https://factoryfiveparts.com/product.php?productid=16281&cat=255&page=1 , it will turn...
