I read all the procedure that the gentleman did lowering his A with a 32/36 axle , spring perches , spindles etc
How do I go about installing this in a stock 30-31 A with procedure, parts , What problems would I run across? Currently have 225 radial 16's on the car
Can I use the stock wishbone or do I need to install the bars going back to the frame if that's where they attach.
Thanks Ken
Besides getting the wheel base square, (check it for "diamond") make
sure you have a minimum of 5° of caster at ride height with the tires
that your going to use...
The caster changes with tire diameter,..front or rear..
