Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms

[Steve Stickel]

[QUOTE=Sean Marconette;450818]None of those shown have any adjustment options from what I can see, like a 4 link, other than the UCA's?
I would recommend making sure the bolts in the LCA's have no slop with the new arms. I replaced my stock bolts, as the bolts are metric and the LCA bushing was 1/2".

Actually, if you look close there are 3 adjustment holes to choose from.. In the photo, its bolted thru the center position. Additionally, the kit comes with another set of adjustment plates in split positions so you do have the choice of 6 upper control arm positions.....

Quote "The one pictured above mine might not fly...it appears to have some extra bars requiring another attachment point."

What you're seeing is the optional diagonal locator trac bar which doesn't use any additional attach points. I ordered this with the kit in the event this is ever used in Superstock with adjustable LCA's w/ heim joints..

That's the ticket! The setup I have does not have all of those brackets, and has the multi-position holes.

^^ agree

My Stocker T-Bird has run a best of 1.51 60ft with a real stock suspension. ( and that was with a short 26 " front tire)
It has run several 1.55 60 footers

* Stock 1986 upper and lower control arms ( unboxed)
* Stock 1986 quad shocks still hooked up
* Some industrial belting wound up inside the right coil spring (to help level the car on launch)
* Air shocks are the only non factory issue item on the car's rear suspension.

I have no idea what the pinion angle is.

It works, so I leave it alone.

If I were not experimenting for better results I would just box the stock arms and leave it at that...but I'm always searching for something better.

Nice #'s Alan, I have yet to come within a tenth of that. But I guess that's what shoe polish is for.

Took my OEM sway bar off this past weekend for 11 passes and found the car has quite the twist without it. Back on it will go.
