possible to use mustang II lower control arm

Edited: 7/21/2007 5:19:34 PM by minis r us

On my last project i was going to do i bought a mustang II front arms and brakes the whole deal. Well i dropped the project and sold the parts well speedway sent me some extra control arms, Mustang II airride lower, by accident. Well I figured while i had them i said what the hell Why not try it out.

To my surprise the arms looked very close to the shape of the stock ranger arms. Only not as wide and not as long. So i jacked up the truck got on my back and set it up against the bottom of stock arm.

To me it appeared to be that it "could" work. Although the arms are shorter couldnt that fix some camber issues we have?? Below is a picture i drew of what it apprear to me to look like and what would need to be done. I dont know how to post pictures so if someone will post it.

I hate to rain on the parade, but if that is the only change made there will be positive camber like a bitch and not mention bump steer issues. Yeah they would out alot of the negative camber layed, but would be positive the rest of the time. Hope this helps

thanks fellas i figured there would be some pros and cons i havent dealt with a bagged ranger yet so i dont really know how bad the camber is on them. Oh well it was worth a shot.

shorten your uppers.....

if i was gonna do that why wouldnt i just make the uppers longer?
