    Bumpsteer inexpensive solution ideas??

    the only thing the taper does it make it easy for install. that way it cant be over torqued. The cheapest way i have found is around $80. first of all you need to drill and ream you center link and spindles to 0.495" this is the shank diameter on most 1/2-20 fasteners. Speedway motors sells...

    Post pics of mustang II front ends

    you are right, I have never installed a MII. When i decided to upgrade my 65 falcon suspension, I looked at every kit out there. I studied as much suspension geometry analysis as i could. The original mounting points for a MII are just horrible. So if the companies modify the MII to get better...

    Post pics of mustang II front ends

    If you reinforce the chassis like reen machine does then the MII is structurally OK. But what about the bad geometry of a MII. even a strut would be better. But if your not road racing the car then it doesnt really matter. It does allow a bigger motor tho.

    dont do the MII. it is bad geometry and needs a lot of support since the frames are not designed to take that load. take a look the suspension i designed.

    i have 245/50/16 on 7.5" wheel on my falcon and they fit perfectly. I have manual steering and i have no issues not too hard to steer. But i bet my car is much lighter than yours. Im running 4* caster. I would think the 67 mustang could easily fit some really nice wide tires. Posted...

    new with custom suspension

    i willnot go into the rear seat. It will be attached to the frame and subframe. I have considered the spring type. But i think the solid will be best for my application. The third link will be 14" long and be adjustable from horizontal to a two inch drop in the front this will give me a range of...

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    make your own lower plate. Buy the LCA from them and some TCP uppers (or make some, its easy). mount the coilover to the LCA and you will have a really good set up. or build your own LCA with rodends instead of bushings. but i reeally like their idea of that lower plate. prbably the best...

    Newbie - A little clarification needed

    Mini-Tub Dilemma

    well the brakes will change the offset required for wheels. so i understand that point. but i would do the minitub first and the housing last. you can order a housing any way you want. if you are cutting the housing... get a wheel that will be centered over the bearing, this will promote equal...
