Mustang II Upper Control Arm w/ Angled Ball Joint

[patrickk1]

If thats were case, then everyone should be careful from where they get their mustang ii front ends. I have looked at multiple companies and some have the ball joints angled slighly out (to the positive) from stock and other have them paralel to the control arm. If you look at many different car manufacturers some have the ball joints angles differently with respect to the upper control arm. I also recently found out that on classic mustangs they run a "negative" wedge one the upper control arm to give more negative camber by re-angleing the ball joint. On GM Abody's they even run a taller upper ball joint and have been doing so for a long time to get additional negative camber. IIRC this was done on racecars originally. After looking at front suspension design for the last few weeks i think one needs to see what their stock suspension angles they start with are before saying something will work or not. I agree though that it all needs to be looked at. I dont think i would ever buy a mustang ii front end again. Its just not worth it when you can get stock car parts for a whole lot cheaper, they're more durable, and can give you much more adjustability with your suspension.

And by the way, i have also seen tons of 4 link kits that the big manufacturers sell to people and thier angles are completely off from having good performance.
