July 22, 2005 - Front suspension rebuild
and upgrade. |
|
|
After
shopping around a little, the front suspension was rebuilt using a
Mustangs Unlimited Kit because they had the best price. The kit was
great as it came with everything except a few small odds and ends. The kit
came with straight lube fittings (bummer), so I installed 90 degree
fittings from NPD. Mustang's Unlimited also provided the 600 lb/in 1"
lowering springs and the cool 1" gold anodized sway bar. Since
this page was originally created I lowered the upper A arms using a really
cool Shelby Drop template I bought from one of the
Vintage Mustang Forum Members. I also
plan to drop the rear of the car 1" if tire clearance allows. |

Here's the new 600 lb/in coil springs installed on top of the new spring mount and A-arm that came in the kit. |

Here's the whole assembly installed and waiting for the backing plates. Spindles were bead blasted and painted with Greg Donahue cast iron paint. |

One inch sway bar is massive and looks great sitting under the engine bay. |
