Hey everyone! I'm really new to mavericks and mechanical workings of cars in general. I've been more of a body work guy. I have some questions about the suspension. What do I need to replace the front suspension and what are good brands to look for. I will be redoing the brakes and think this is the perfect time to do this. I have a 1971 Ford Maverick 2 door with an I6. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. -Frank from San Jose, CA
I went to the Autokrafters site and some others to look at all the parts. Sometimes they are sold on Ebay as a whole kit for around 300.00. Then changed my mind and decided on rod and customs MII kit, cause I have a V8 with headers and a short temper, the shock towers are a beast to work around. Try a search here. There have been alot of discussions on here with some good info and links to suppliers. Try laurelmountainmustangs.com. I read an article on line, I think it was in Modified fords and mustangs. The article went step by step replaceing the front suspension with a Laurel mountain kit.
I've looked around for more info, but can't find it. I'll look some more, but if anyone happens to know can you throw me a link. Thanks!
At the top of this page there is a search icon hit it and type in Front suspension kits click the show posts button and it will give a list of the posts the links I used are in the posts. I cant remember how to post a link. I found the links and the article here useing the search function, it was ford muscle that did the story.
