    howdy howdy once again guyz..

    was thinking last night while i was at work. i would REALLY like to do something with the front end of my maverick. there is just NOT enough room in the engine bay....
    so part of me was thinking "modify modify modify!!" and somehow either make a stang II front end fit, or buy one if somebody makes the kit. but then i realized, i just want the maverick to be a nice car so i was thinking i just might rebuild the front end to be a little better.

    Does somebody.. like maybe PST make a front end rebuild kit for mavericks??? and have you done them?
    thanks!!
    jason :D

    yes pst does make a front end bushings replacement kit for the front. they also carry bigger swaybars for the front and one for the rear. For springs you could either go w/ pst's stock height ones, or look elsewhere for lowered ones. There was a long discussion about lowering springs on the board.

    i am in the process of putting a frontend out from under a 80 bobcat wagon(same as them2) in a few more weeks i'll have it complete. the mav frame rails are 4"wider than the m2 so i opted to widen the m2 cradle to fit. that way my front wheels will be back out where they were before.:)
