    Total Control & Street or Track & Global West Strut Rod & Lower Control Arms

    Good Day, Wow, It is hard to believe it was August 2014 when I asked about real world experiences for the 1971 -1973 front suspension upgrades. Lots of good information from the thread here. Here is what I have. The TCP strut rods rub slightly up against my sway bar. It is a little annoying...

    Hello Copestang, I believe you have it covered. Why are you changing your steering box? Is it due to new competition box?

    Who is running a 17" or bigger wheel

    Hello Lazarus, Nice! I was looking into that direction. Since you have them installed and driven on them, I may again change direction. I have the 245/45-17 all away around and can tell every nook and crannies on the road. Your convertible looking really good! I appreciate the feedback! What...

    Who is running a 17" or bigger wheel

    All, After further research, really always continuing, I was looking into taller sidewalls for the 17 inch rims. This is now not a valid resolution. If you look at the mustangs that had the factory 17 inch wheels and tires, their spring rates and shocks (struts) were adjusted to absorb the...

    I am also looking into a better solution for the front rear shocks. I found the rear QA1 application - QA1 TS601 - 1965-1973 Ford. https://www.qa1.net/product/ts601

    Thinking of new wheels

    Hello tony-muscle, Oh, got a nice chuckle on the "stiff/racy not comfortable" When we were a much younger person, it does not bother us as bad. Like, Yea, this cool!  You get in your mind after researching on how it should ride , and it turns out way different. Hopefully our real world...

    Rims

    Make sure your look at the tires Aspect Ratio. This will determine ride quality and harshness. Ride comfort is a function of spring and dampening, and that can come from the tire, the springs, a shock, or any combination of the three. A car riding on lower profile tires will have less...

Ride comfort is a function of spring and dampening, and that can come from the tire, the springs, a shock, or any combination of the three.

    sway bar replace

    jscott- do you have the rear sway bar? You may want to look into adding to help balance out the larger bar. No tricks to install. Just make sure your mustang is sitting naturally on the pavement  when you tighten everything up. Most instructions recommend that. typical setup is 1-1/8 front and...

    Who is running a 17" or bigger wheel

    I have the 2001 Bullitt 17 inch wheels with the 245/45-17 tires. With the TCP strut rods and Lower Control Arms, the ride is a bit harsh. I feel every nook and cranny on the road. Now for handling, it is a slot car. The aspect ratio is very important in determining the quality of ride that you...

    Strut Rods: New Bushings vs New design(TCP, etc)

    I currently have the TCP Lower control arms and the strut rods on my 1973 coupe. I sometimes believe they are an over kill. Don C is correct with the cabin feedback with the solid mount strut rods. I believe that your purchase a good quality stock Lower control arm, install the metal to box the...

    TheDude, What is your budget?  I have the  1994-2004 Cobra 13″ Front Brakes on your Classic Ford kit installed on my 1973 Coupe. I bought it s few years ago. Works very well. The price for the kit then, was reasonable. Wow, not cheap these days!

    73 tilt column universal joint

    Jomar1957, I had suspected that you were asking for. If Don cannot help, then look at the Ford F Series from the early 70’s and to maybe early 80’s. The tilt mechanism was the same. The universal joint is the same. The Lower shaft will be different in length. You may get one cheap and use the...
