Title: Front suspension
Post by: ocfirefossil on June 21, 2008, 12:08:43 PM
Hi Guys,  I've got the 5 bolt rotors and spindles handled.  Thx.  Now, upper and lower a arms.  Will the 74 and up Pinto and Mustang II work on a 71 Pinto?  The Mustang II spindles are an inch taller than the 71 to 3 Pinto.  What will this do?  I've noticed that I can buy 74 up a arms cheaper with new bushings than buying just 71 bushings.

The later model A-arms will not bolt in to a 71 with out significant modification.  Below is a recent link discussing this.  There are probably others.
