Hello all… Can anyone tell me why someone would install a rear Float A Motor
Kit and not a front kit as well? In my pea brain it would only make sense to do both?? I have to replace my Yolk assembly and was wondering if I should install the front Float A motor kit being a rear had been installed at some point. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

I have the same setup as ray, and i like it.

So you are saying stock mounts in front and float A motor in rear? That’s what this coupe is set up with and it drives great. Guess I’ll leave well enough alone..

Several members have reported that the stock setup in the front works better than any of the aftermarket mounts.

Same experience as Nkaminar on both my A's.

I have the stock yoke in front and FAM in the rear.
