I got a deal on a 70 convert with hi miles.
Suspension all sagged out. Ended up with www.canadianmustang.com hi rate 1" lowered springs F&R, complete suspension
bushings & A-arm pivots & shocks. Lowered
the car 1", looks great. I got their
exclusive Midolyne bushings - firmer than
oem, don't go soft over time, but don't
transmit road shock like poly. Even w/o
other chassis stiffening mods (stock 302
yet) car handles totally better, rides
firm but w/o harsh road shock at every
line in the road. A MAJOR but often
overlooked part of the handling dept,
after stiffening the chassis, is the
steering. Those years had awful steering.
My power is all rebuilt, yet still sloppy.
I relate to your "disconnected" feeling
at speed.Total Control Products has both manual and power rack&pinion kits that are said to make VAST diff, but bring 2 heckbooks
esp for the power one. site maybe www.totalcontrolproducts.com or similar?
