Swapping the leafs out of an early Mustang?
This rear four-link replaces the leaf springs with double-adjustable bars and R-Joints. Measure the axle tubes first. A swedged 2-1/4-inch tube needs different U-bolts.
Fitment
1964-1970 Ford Mustang as listed by Ridetech; the manual identifies the early 1964-1967 and later 1968-1970 front bar mounting hardware.
Manufacturer-listed models: 1964-1970 Ford Mustang.
Specifications
Part 12087197; double-adjustable upper/lower R-Joint bars; satin-black finish; approximately 1-3-inch drop with the matched shock package.
Compatible with mini-tubs; adjustable axle position and pinion angle.
Included
Cradle, bars/R-Joints, axle and shock mounts, upper axle tabs, standard axle/frame U-bolts, spacers, tab-setting jigs and hardware.
Before ordering and installation
Ridetech CoilOvers or ShockWaves are sold separately; factory shocks and leaf springs do not fit.
Axle tubes swedged to 2-1/4 inches require four separate Ridetech 99566009 U-bolts. An axle without stock-style leaf pads may need separate 70010122 weld-on lower brackets.
Installation includes drilling, cutting off the factory pinion-snubber mount and welding upper axle tabs. Check fuel-line and tailpipe routing.
Center the axle and set pinion angle before fitting ShockWaves so the bag cannot rub the lower axle mount. R-Joints need no added lubrication.
