Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted July 2, 2021 This is an alternate to adjustable strut rods. I'm just curious if anyone has tried this kit and how they like it? It has a tubular lower control arm with two pivots. This removes the strut rods and has a 1/4" steel plate for the forward lower pivot, with the stock lower pivot remaining in the rear. You drill out the spot welds for the strut rod brackets and drill holes for the plate, which bolts into place. No welding required. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284107627733?epid=25006561315&hash=item4226225cd5%3Ag%3AozUAAOSwuFxcvgsZ&fits=Year%3A1969|Model%3AMustang|Make%3AFord They install disc brakes and new steering gear in this article too, but steps 14-21 show the mini sub frame kit:https://www.classicperform.com/tech_articles/PDF/ModifiedMustang11-13.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted July 2, 2021 Just from looking at the adjustments, or lack thereof, for camber and caster, I don't care for them. How is the front LCA bushing not put in a bind when moving the eccentric on the rear bushing? Terry if I had a 69 as nice and original as yours, I'd probably use the Opentracker stuff. More expensive, but really well made. I've looked at them, and talked in person to the owner John.

Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted July 2, 2021 Yes, I like the OpenTracker stuff and will probably go that way- if nothing else, just to keep the car closer to stock. But this is an interesting approach that I haven't seen before and it tweaked my interest. The movement of the lower arm depends on the position of the two pivot points, and they don't appear to be parallel to or align with the upper arm, so they may follow a slight forward- back arc. The intent was to get rid of the strut rods and stabilize the wheel assembly. This video of stock strut rods makes me cringe when the bushing compress, the strut rod flexes and the wheel assembly moves forward and back, but yes adjustable strut rods would eliminate this problem: That's a great link to VMF, thanks 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
