    LCA with screw in balljoint..any benefits?

    Here Ya Go ! - Afco racing sells them. The ball joint is #20034, the weld in sleeve is #20043. I've done it many times and it is a fun project. http://www.afabcorp.com/AFCO_Dynatech_USbrake/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=A&Product_Code=20034&Category_Code=ct_standard-ball-joints...

    lowering rear of car w/o blocks (long)

    They are held together with the bolt that goes through the middle of the springs. Take that bolt out and the springs come apart. Put back the springs you want, in the order you want and put the bolt back it. That's about it.

    Question about wheel position with shelby drop

    You need a new alignment. The tire should have 0 camber when the car is at rest. The only reason you would need neg. camber is to get more grip. I would think Marlon's would have done it that way but since they didn't, I would find another shop. These settings will work well and give even tire...

    66 Mustang Front Suspension Rebuild

    There is a difference but no, it's not worth it IMO on a street car. I like selling parts but it is overkill and I try to steer people away from them. Some folks like overkill though from the amount of roller arms that I know of that are on the street. They do make the cars ride smoother but...

    66 Mustang Front Suspension Rebuild

    A rod end strut rod and a roller lower arm will be smoother than that mini kit, cost a lot less and there's no cutting or welding. I would like to see some real world test results from the swap. Again, you have to know what the upper and lower ball joints are doing under joust and rebound and...

    66 Mustang Front Suspension Rebuild

    That's not true at all, what problems does it fix? There is little gain from the cars point of view with that set up other than the bit of an arch the lower ball joint goes through with the stock strut rod. You have to look at it like this, the spindle doesn't care what it's bolted too, if it...

    What causes sloppy handling??

    I have done several suspensions on Fairlane's. We work close with several NHRA drag teams and they want the best of the best and they like Fairlane's. The kit below is a good street kit for your car. The big front sway bar will help with the body roll, the roller perches will smooth out the ride...

    Granada Disc swap alignment specs

    Those specs. will work. One issue is to make sure the caster and camber are the same on both sides, or at least within .2deg. of each other. My daily driver has: 0 - Camber on both sides 2deg. positive caster on both sides 1/8" toe in Also, do not let them set the car for road...

    In the past I have used a piece of coat hanger and a big spring to hold exhaust pipe away from things.

    Better motion ratio?

    Your right, I shoud have not made such a blanket statement. I should have said the two biggest things you get from a coil over are bla- bla- bla. Going from a stock type susepnsion to a coil over is a big improvement, so is going to a full roller front end with the perch moved outward on the...

    Better motion ratio?

    It has been under some heavy duty testing. What I found out is that it's not worth making and adj. upper arm. The farthest out position works the best. You can slide the perch 1 1/2" forward on the arm without any clearance issues on a 65-66 car. You can move the perch up that far on an early...

    Better motion ratio?

    Glad you like the perches. The testing on the double rollers is going well. They should be out soon. We do all kinds of custom work, I'll be glad to help with your Cougar. My load transfer idea is back on the front burner, I have been working on it for about 2 weeks. Here is a couple of photo...

    Better motion ratio?

    The two things you get with a coil over that makes it better than the stock set up as far as ride quality goes is, a better motion ratio and no rubber bushings. The lack of rubber bushings make up about 75% of the improvement. The better motion ratio helps too but not as much as getting rid of...

    knocking noise after starter install

    I would pull the starter back out and see if the converter bolts (or something else) are hitting the starter housing. It's possible that you got a starter with a little bit different snout on it.

    I would like the mod's at stangnet to know that I am not trying to sell parts here, just point out a kit that we know works. You could source the parts from several vendors. Keeping my rear out of hot water folks :SNSign:
