What to change after 1.5" drop - 4/11/2008 11:31:52 AM    MustangMike2001 Posts: 1024 Joined: 9/1/2006 From: Nashville, TN Status: offline It's just my daily driver that might see the drag strip once or twice so I don't really need the works. I would like to get my steering straitened back out though and maybe some better bushings. Suggestions would be great. < Message edited by MustangMike2001 -- 4/11/2008 11:32:19 AM > _____________________________ Turbonator, Nawwwzzz, Octane Boost, I'm too fast for ya'll mane Post #: 1

Caster/Camber plates - for correcting alignment, primarily negative camber issues (tires leaning inward) Bumpsteer kit - for correcting bumpsteer caused by lowering the Mustang Shocks & struts - to improve ride quality, and help dampen the higher spring rates Sincerely, _____________________________ Josh Sadowsky http://www.stangsuspension.com Mustang suspension parts and performance.

I don't have those but I have the cam bolts I bought from you. _____________________________ Turbonator, Nawwwzzz, Octane Boost, I'm too fast for ya'll mane (in reply to STANGSUSPENSION) Post #: 3

The installation of a bumpsteer kit is independent of caster / camber plates. If you have camber bolts, and they're doing their job, then it should work out for you!

Infact, Steeda recommends their bumpsteer kit as well, in addition to the X2 balljoints. IF you want to install one mod, to help correct bumpsteer the most, install a bumpsteer kit. Steeda makes a great kit, part # 555-8104. Sincerely, _____________________________ Josh Sadowsky http://www.stangsuspension.com Mustang suspension parts and performance.
