I currently have the Addco 990 installed but my wider 275-45/17 rear tires and rear disc upgrade has presented 2 clearance issues with the Addco 990 sway bar. First, the tire will rub on the end of the sway bar in hard cornering, see pictures. Second, the bar interferes with the E-Brake...

Interesting, thanks will e (y)

While looking for reference pics to replace my rear exhaust pipe hangers I came across this picture which shows the rear hanger very well. Does anybody know what the the bracket mounted to the frame rail just forward of the exhaust hanger is for?

Stanglover, My 71 M code originally had the performance package, hence the factory staggered shock mounts up top. Early Cougars also had a staggered setup available but they included rubber isolators top and bottom of the spring as shown above that Hemikiller marked up of my first pic. The big...

So, two RH plates will work on a staggered shock setup? I assume you just rotate the RH plate 180 and everything lines up for staggered? Waaay less $$ the an OEM piece, mine is more of a resto-mod anyway.

Actually, the more I look at them they look like repops. Maybe even a Maverick. The shock ears are too rounded and the R & L stamping looks like it was written with a punch... I think should pass. There are more correct ones on eBay $350-$375.

Hey Hemikiller, Just ran across these on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134929959472?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=iD3MyzjIRuW&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=l_9HdLGNTKK&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY What's your thoughts? looks legit, price is right, 100% feedback Says "PULLED FROM A...

Stanglover, you are correct, previous owner swapped out, I never noticed until now doing a rear suspension rebuild and had a cup of WTF. Thanks for the link, Pretty steep price but I have not found anyone who sells any repro sets yet. Hopefully Someone on here might have a set, or I'll have to...

Found

Thank you Hemikiller, again (lol), and every one for your helpful comments and clarification. I agree, additional research indicates a 71-73 Cougar setup. I intend to switch back to 71-73 staggered shock setup. Anybody have a pair of lower staggered shock plates they want to sell? Thanks...

Interesting.. the plot thickens

Per NPD's fitment guide. Should be the same, I'll be reaching out to NPD for clarification.

I decided to add a rear Addco sway bar to my 71 but the new sway bar plate from NPD is to narrow for the original U-bolt plates on top and bottom of my original 4 leaf springs. Did I get the wrong sway bar plates? Any Ideas? Also the new "correct" U-Bolts from NPD are much shorter than my...

h Here recently i researched some characteristics of my engine block. Apparently these blocks were experiencing cracks in the corners early on, so ford starting casting them with the "Y" and "X" 's in the corners to reinforce and stop these cracking problems. In my limited time researching i...

I know this is an old post, but any chance the console is still for sale? Thanks...

Thanks Don! Looks like no spring is used.

Rebuilding my 71 non tilt steering column. Is there supposed to be a spring under the steering wheel for tension? I've seen pictures that shows a spring below the wheel nut that looks like kind of like a valve spring. Mine does not have one and I thought it might be missing. Thanks...

Sprint, are you interested in selling this column?

I am upgrading my 71 mach1 to a tilt wheel and need some info on compatibility. Do any of the cougars steering columns fit.
