Hi Ross. You have obviously "been there done that", at least to a degree. I don't know what the hertz of an old 'Stang is compared to newer cars, but I am sure it's structure needs help. If I add a steering rack I will need a crossmember to which the unit will mount. Many of the aftermarket...

No Bullet, it is the 5-lug of which I speak. The S13 is the 4-lug and the S14 is the 5-lug. But even that is hear-say. I've yet to verify that info for myself.

Yes carnage1, I have considered that. But I would still be stuck with the worm&sector steering which is poor in feel and SLOW. With the 240, if I could make it work, I'd get everything in one package, engineered together (except for the car itself!!!). Also, I've read about aftermarket R&P...

So it would seem that the real question is: if I install a setup from another car to my Mustang and succeed in installing it in such a way that I get (at rest) correct kingpin incline (caster, yes?), camber and adequate travel of steering, bump etc., will the car behave despite the fact that the...

The Stang did become MODIFIED strut beginning in '79. My car is a '66. Hemipainter, what is SAI? I've never heard that term before. As I said, I've read the Herb Adams book on suspension but it is more about tuning than design. Can anyone suggest a source that might give me specifics regarding...

Mr G. Locock, thanks for your interest. I consider the two designs to be very different. The '66 Ford is a upper/lower control arm setup with manual recirculating ball steering and manual drum brakes. I intend to go to a Macpherson strut/rack and pinion steering/disc brake set-up. Hopefully I...

Actually, Tmoose, I think I could actually use the 240 LCAs as they are that similiar. However I am not sure of the relative, at rest positions as each is installed in their respective cars. I am currently looking for an S14 240sx salvage car from which to rob parts . I have a cache of S13 parts...

Because I was unsure that my inquiry would be welcome here I left out some details. The lower control arms of the 2 vehicles are nearly identical in length and each has only one inboard pivot (the diagonal drag-link provides the fore-aft locating). The track width of the 240 is wider but the...

I am posting here for the first time. I am not an engineer but a machinist at a Nabisco bakery. I want to adapt the suspension of a '95 240sx Nissan to a '66 Ford Mustang. The reason that I chose the 240 (S14) is that it is a rear-steer like the Ford with rack and pinion steering, disc brakes...
