66 mustang front suspension

broncos7307 · 08-18-2004, 09:20 PM

I have just purchased a 66 mustang coupe, redone the rear suspension and am looking to replace the front along with changing out the brakes. I guess my question is are there modern suspensions that work good for the car or go with a after market set from a parts house. One question in regards to the steering it appears i have more travel in one direction than the other any thoughts. As anyone experienced water leaking through the windsheid wiper pivot hole into the dash.

Thanks

unless you are going all out racing, and then you have to work with in the class rules, factory replacement parts work just fine. check out www.p-s-t.com for suspension parts for your stang. as for the steering problem, two things;
1: the steering box was likely not centered properly when the linkage was last rebuilt,
2: the last alignment shop do the toe in adjustment all on one side of the steering linkage.

both can easily be redone when you rebuld the suspension.

As far as water leaking through your windshield wiper pivot hole, there is a gasket on each hole on the inside behind your dash to stop any water. If you're sure your cowl doesn't have a rust hole, you probably just need to replace the gaskets. Believe you can get them at any of the Mustang parts suppliers.
