1971 FORD LTD gets HYDROS !!

[ChiefRocka]

Front cylinder in place .... Moving on to rear suspension.

Similar to the front, a hole must be hole-sawed thru the frame, then thru the body (directly over the coil spring) to accomidate the hydraulic cylinder.

The only difference, is the rear is down in a 'coil-over' style (where the coil-spring is between the frame and cylinder, rather the cylinder pushing on the coil) ....

Thru the frame I use the same size as the cylinder, but on top, thru the body, I use a larger hole saw. This prevents 'squeaks' when traveling down the road.

Pieces removed ... Fords, you go thru a little brace (GM flat steel)
