The suspension that is per opentrackers suggestion does anyone have a how to on replacing the front suspension I know I've seen a video and a write up somewhere but that was like like over 3 years ago. I have a bunch of new open tracker parts + some from mustang plus. And once those are on i can ship my old orginals up to john for another stangs car thanks for the help in advance
 
ALL of the front suspension? Or just specific parts?

I just redid my front suspension. New UCA & LCA, Roller Perches, Springs, Shelby drop too. I kind of remember how/what order I did things.
 
Pat,
The Boss is leaving for Australia in a couple days. Send your car up here!! I'll do it in a weekend.



But until then, tell us what new parts your have that you want installed. Then we can help determine in what order it needs to be.
 
Also keep in mind that depending on how the rear sits, the front might have to be dropped or not. Meaning an Arning drop and/or front coils cut if you like the drop look like what I have done to Shag. There's a couple new posts in the suspension board about other's recently doing new suspensions, with drops, etc.

Any immediate question, you know how to reach me.

Upper and lower control arms new tie rods new springs new shocks new roller perches new idler arm Shelby drop template new sway bar. I think I may be leaving smthn out :confu
 
Pat,
What springs are you running or plan to run in the back? Just thinking about the future stance of your rig. I would not cut the front coils until you have assembled the car and driven it a bit to settle down the front end. Only then would I re-evaluate the stance to see if infact you need to cut the coils. Do you have a coil compressor?
 
Sry I meant new coils not leaf springs those where replaced buy owner couple months before I bought the stang. I don't want to cut anything off as I sure someone else could benefit from the parts.
 
Ok, so now I'm confused (what else is new). Are the leafs in back new? If so, what are they (how many leafs, standard eye, mid eye, etc). If the leafs are not new, can we assume you will be replacing them as well?

As per your list, you have new coils for the front? are they 620's?
