Thread: mustang rack & pinion measurement

Tweet

Ok I’m new here and this rig is not a Rod.
After searching the Internet by every search query imaginable I find myself here. You also found yourself here looking for information. Where else?

I could tell you a story about what I have been doing, Short version.
I dumped the 2.6 4 cylinder (which was unbelievably heavy) and installed V-6 with TH350.
The oil pan interfered with steering, which I knew it would.
Was a rear steer. Rotated spindles, lower control arms right to left. Spindles and arm are symmetrical only left and right parts.
Only after looking at Heidts web site http://www.heidts.com/heisinfo.htm
Learning this the right way, I did a mock up.
Not a bit of bump steer and very little caster/camber, at full arch.

Here is what I need to know
Mustang front steer rack & pinion steering, I really need to find out is the measurement on the rack itself, inner tie rod ball to ball measurements.
Not tie rod to tie rod.

I recieved my rack from heidts yesterday. I will be pulling it out of the box tomorrow. If you still need a measurement, I can do it then.

Yes I would appreciate your help in getting the measurement.
My front end is IFS only its a dodge, but so similar to Fords
I have come to far to give up by discouragement. I have looked at many Mustang IFS kits.
I have finished the body drop, which was simple. The rear suspension I am doing the 4 link with watts linkage no comparison to a pan hard which pitches the rig to one side.
This is not mine. I am just showing you what it is.



I had a link that showing it working but I can’t find it. This will travel up and down like 12” with no swaying what so ever. There are to ways you can go, this one shows the linkage tied to the differential. The other is tied to the frame. The (KIT) cost is way out of town, but if you have got what it takes to build it, very cheap.

Well I see my picture didn’t get here, so here is a link
