    65 Fastback front end rise

    There was a guy on the VMF (moneymanager) who had the same problem, but he had 65-66 spindles. Turned out his upper control arm bushings were shot and was causing the suspension to bind. That was after he spend big $$$ to have somebody else figure it out for him. When the suspension was...

    65 Fastback front end rise

    Funny, I have Granada spindles and that problem has never occured. Now, a combination between Granada spindles and the rack and pinon might be causes excessive toe changes (bump steer)? Try a set of Baer Trackers, allows bump steer to be adjusted.

    Lowered my 66'

    Stock upper control arms will put the upper ball joint in a full bind at anything beyond 1" at full suspension drop. This is a very dangerous situation and the car should not be driven until it is corrected. :nono: You can either: 1) reinstall the upper arms in the factory holes 2)...

    Lowered my 66'

    You drilled new holes 1.25" lower on the shock tower? A set of Baer Tracker tie rods are recommened with Granada spindles and a lowered suspension.

    Drag race suspension?

    Cal-trac traction bars (a superior design), roller spring perches, 10-90 drag shocks, I-6 coil springs. Just a few items to get you thinking.
