But I would like to keep the original setup...

I guess since 2012 it has been changed. Looks like ont he 73 models the ball joint is riveted. I can't find the right piece anywhere, or maybe I'm blind... Does anyone know where to find it ? Thanks

Here is the answer from KYB "Both 343156 and KG4504 are correct for the 73 Mustang.  You’re correct that KG4504 is a little shorter, but that is by design due to the higher damping rate that is meant to give a little more suspension performance.  You would just need to jack up the axle a little...

 That Sprint is to the body shop, just went today to talk about if we continue or not... never seen this before, some pieces are welded over the bodywork

Job is done, just need to connect the brake hoses. What torque should I put ?

I sent a message to KYB US and I come back as soon as I have an answer.

 I changed my front drums to discs, using appropriate spindles. I have also changed my pedals as I am moving from an automatic to a manual gearbox. And the pedal support of a vehicle with drum brakes is different from a vehicle with disc brakes, which is important.

That is the reason why the exaust ones have this design, I didn't know, thanks. 

I have already had new valve guides fitted. I am not going to have the cylinder heads modified yet. In this case, can I install the same 16 valve stem seals and not use the ones for the exhaust? As the intake ones are longer, they should be more efficient?

In the FELPRO gasket kit, there are these valve stem seals. There are two bags with different gaskets, one for the intakes (16 pieces) and one for the exhausts (8 pieces). I wonder if these gaskets are very effective because they do not completely close the oil passage. What do you think?

Hello, I recently bought some KYB KG4504 but were too short, so I then bought some KYB 343156 and that fits perfectly, so don't do that mistake. If that can help...

The shocks were delivered today.  You can see quite a difference in length between the two, if it helps others not to make the same mistake. Or maybe the short ones could be installed with some shorter springs ? I don't know...

It's starting to look like something. But how heavy is this front bumper. Fortunately my wife and kids helped me to put it in place :)

 You are one of the artists present on this site, good work!

Finish left side, so both side are done, now waiting for the shocks.

Rockauto tells me that according to the manufacturer's specifications, KYB in this case, these suspensions fit on our 71/73. As a result, I get half my money back because what I received is what I ordered, and should fit on my car, so we share the blame. I would have preferred that they send me...

The front suspension I try to install are KG 4504 and are shorter than the original ones. I need to change them for sure. If KYB#343156 are longer, that's what I need. 

From drum to disk.  One side is done, almost. The KYB gas is shorter than the ones I had, probably the original ones, wait until the car is on the ground.

I'm originally an auto mechanic but I've hardly ever done it professionally, just for myself, for my own enjoyment, and for family and friends when needed. Everything I do on my Mustang I learned here, we have a lot of similarities, then come some differences between the coupes, convertibles and...

I remember I had the same issue on my first Mustang, ordered the wrong coupler. Today, on the Mach1, I removed the Lares 202, and was able to connect the 201 I had since years, I don't really understand as it sould be or 36 or 31 splines... And just realize I need to turn it half round
