Jaguar Control Arms??
Does anyone use Jag control arms as opposed to Mustang 2. In the UK we have to use them and the rear IRS for Rods. Out of interest only.
Cheers, Rick

Since we're on the subject...
I'm new here, and in the process of taking on a project that my Dad started. The Tudor currently has (I believe), a Jag IFS in addition to the IRS. I'm not crazy about how tall the front end sits. Is there such a thing as dropped spindles for a Jag? I will not cut down coils or any of the other cheap tricks , because I'd like to keep the geometry correct.

on the front you can adjust the torision bars, on the back I use adjustable coilovers, try to keep the axels paralell with the floor.

On the Jaguar IRS the lower bearing arms ("whishbones") and the drive axles are not parallell. It is the driving axles that must be parallell to each other and the ground, NOT the bearing arms.
This is very important. If the axle is lowered so much that the lower bearing arms are parallell to the ground, the axles' geometry is messed up.Last edited by staleg; 06-29-2007 at 02:32 AM.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
