Default Re: Mustang l l front suspension

I have to disagree with Craig just a bit. The Mustang II in my 36 was put in the car before "kits" were available. That was in 1983. It has close to 100K miles on it, passes the NSRA safety inspection every year and is fitted with across the counter parts (calipers, 11" rotors, hoses, and bearings). The lower ball joints were replaced once because they were still the same that were in the donor vehicle. The power rack has an unknown number of miles on it. The car weighs in at 3250 lbs. and rides very well.

The CV suspension is a good unit without doubt, but, it is right on the edge of being too wide. Wheel choice is limited due to the width.
