im switching to manual steering and while im at it im going to get a pair of 620lbs springs from the 65-68 mustangs. and shock but what is the list of new bushings i need? im going to just order from autokraters.
upper control arms bushings and shafts x2 ,Spring perches x2, upper ball jointx2,lower a arm assemblys x2 and strut rods bushings x2 sets,sway bar links and frame bushings
ok thanks ill search them all on in the catalog so what size is the stock sway bar? should i just buy a new 7/8in sway bar??
Are you sure you want to go with 620 lbs springs? Is this going in a road race car or street car? If street car then 420 is way enough
well its a street car but i was thinking that 620 is what i would need to stiffen it up for some track dates here and there ok what about 540 from global west for a 65-66 mustang?
Bud Moore and Parnelli Jones' Boss 302 racecars used up to 550 lbs springs. The 620's will feel like a solid rock and shake your teeth out on a smooth road.
if it's anything like the 71 suspension compare prices with getting the whole upper control arm as an assembly (new spindle, bushings and ball joint all assembled). I did mine over the summer and just did that. A few extra bucks for alot less work.
Don't forget Ilder Arm & Ilder Arm Bushing that you will need to press in to the Center Link. If you are concerned with cost I'm not sure Auto Krafters will have the best price on these items. I would shop price with "Rock Auto". Their online catalog is very user friendly. If you are concerned with quality I would highly recommend "Moog" parts. Good luck & keep us posted on the progress.
cool so ill get 540 springs unless is there really a big difference between them and a 480lbs?? does anyone run them? and start looking for everthing and ill post it up here to make sure i got it all before i do buy them
I know when I did my front suspension I was a complete novice and pretty anal at the same time (great combo, no?). If you search my sn you might get something out of it. Again, I've got a 71 and don't know the difference between our cars tho.
