Are those the roller spring perches? Or these http://forums.corral.net/forums/general-mustang-tech/496793-exhaust-drone-completely-gone.html These Mustang perches will fit a Maverick, right?
the pivot heim(sp?) joints are not greaseable, the ball joints are off the shelf Moog stuff, I inquired about the life span of the heim joints and he was confident they would last a very long time. They are fairly standard pieces from what I understand and they use them in their strut rods (which are due to be delivered in 2wks) with no problems. They can be serviced separately as well. The perches are sealed roller bearing, no additional lube necessary. I'm replacing the perches with urethane bushings(constant squeek). All of this is spec'd for the Maverick.(and 68-73 Mustangs) I must say, so far the guy I contacted was very helpful and informative and unlike a lot of the Mustang vendors, very happy to help with information about the compatibility with the Maverick. All of it looks very well designed and he runs his Mustang on the street and races it regularly with no issues.
Speedway sells a seal kit for the heim joints, may be a double edged sword, might keep just as much in, as out. Just an idea.http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Seals-It-Heim-Seals,1528.html
One of my friends has the entire front suspension of his Mustang done with their stuff, it all fit perfect, and made a huge difference. I've also talked to them a few times, in person and one the phone, they always have the answer to any questions. Show us some pictures of the uppers installed, I'm curious to see the clearance in the shock tower. I need to get some perches, mine squeek, and drive me nuts, damn urethane!
Will do! I have to weld up the holes I already have and the UCA's came with a new aluminum template to redrill the holes at the location their arms are engineered for. I currently have that annoying squeek and I have to remove the arms to lube them which is why I'm going this route now. btw: they also have a great explaination on their site about the thought process behind the adjustability of the upper pivot mounts and alignment angles. Very informative.
