I did this on my 68, made a world of difference. Love them!

[mcinkyt]

I knew a guy who had a big block 69. The IFS conversion kit would've made life so much easier for him

[GnonplussedGnome]

WOW! Working on a clean car, never happened to me back in the day.

[ATISY]

Very interesting, thank you. I can’t wait to install it coming spring in to my 68 coupe

[GunfightersINC]

I just installed this kit on my 69 fastback.. glorious

[MissionRestomod]

Holy crap did you see the flex in that strut rod frame mount when torquing the rod ? I think it needs some welding/reinforcement....

[charlesbaunsgard]

If the 68 and the 67 are basically the same car why would this kit not work for the 67?

[BJBFOREST]

I think the kit is very impressive. Just an observation. When you look at the McPherson strut assemblies on Ford cars I note that the LCA are attached to the chassis at two locations, . With the early Falcons/Mustangs..the suspension was a mixture of UCA which took the spring load, and it was bolted to a substantive spring tower at two points, and a LCA arm which was located to the chassis at one location.

In this modification with via the kit, the spring is bolted directly to the LCA, thus eliminating the spring/shock directly to the UCA, Would the LCA mounts deal with the shock loads or is there no difference overall. I am aware that the UCA went through a period of improvements over the years, especially in the early Falcons where the upper strut towers were improved/strengthened due to fatigue. Did anyone notice the flexing of the lower strut rod mounting bracket when the strut bearing was being torqued. Will the strut mount fatigue over time now??? Would the LCA chassis mount have to be beefed up to take the shock loads?

[kylevantassel]

As someone commented those strut rod mounts need some loving on this thing . I usually weld the down both sides at the frame and core support because they were never really that great even right from the factory. These are one of the bad parts of the front suspension in a mustang .
Also, even tho this kit is well presented its not designed that well . Very limited front end travel and inherently flawed by moving the load to the lower ball joint in a fashion that its not meant to handle . In this configuration the weight of the vehicle is pulling the ball and socket apart. Some OEMs got bit in the ass doing this (Jeep Liberty comes to mind immediately)
Someone needs to come up with a complete bolt in strut front end for these , or maybe they have and I just havnt seen it.

[JohnPandeya-pqxy]

Just installed this

Need to know if the tie rod has a torque and the endlinks too or just jist snug tight it

[paxtonmiller]

Make sure you torque your shock and control arm bolts when the vehicle is under its own weight. Otherwise you’ll be putting way more strain on the bushings.

[edwinrivera]

bill thank you for all i have a mustang 1966 conv and I want to fix the way you teach Igo to fallow you in puerto Rico we don't have 

mechanic for old cars

[eduardojoseeduel]

Este tipo es el papa de los helados, me quito el sombrero.

[jksprecast]

That was very informative but how long does it take to install?

[philliphanner]

I am working on my 73 Torino and looking for something like this. Would this kit work on 73 Gran Torino q code

[chanraxter]

The strut rod mount on this car has pulled loose from the frame. Look at the video at around 16:00 and notice how it is broken loose and pulls away from the frame when Bill torques down the strut rod. YIKES!

[ulrichherrera]

I'll repeat the same question someone else asked: if the 67 and 68 are essentially the same body, why is it that this kit will not work with the 67?

[estergrant]

im
curious why it goes all the way to 68 but not 67? they are nearly identical im surprised the suspension has a difference that makes it not applicable to 67s

[elcartelframing]

any reviews on the coil over kit and rack and pinion on the 70 mustang I'm thinking of buying but haven't seen any reviews how does the car feel compare to stock?

[valcandestryer]

Messaging from 2024 can anyone tell me e if this works on the 66 coupe? It’s the only non IFS I’ve found and I really don’t want to cut up my baby😢
