The kit is supposed to lock in the lower control arms to keep the alignment in place.
So far I have the upper control arm w/spring perch installed and torqued, the lower control arm is installed but it is not torqued its only snug. That must be torqued with the suspension loaded( I found this website, it has a wealth of information about working on a 67 Mustang Fastback).
The spindle is mounted and torqued. I was going to install the drum hub, but I forgot that the "old" bearing races were still installed. I removed the races and cleaned up those areas. I thought I would try something a little different to install the bearing races. I read on the Vintage Mustang forums about cooling the bearing races to make them easier to install. WE SHALL SEE. I put the hardware in the freezer and I will let it chill for a couple of hours.
I was able to pretty easily install the bearing races - that freezer trick worked out well. so now the passenger side front drum is ready for bearings and installation to the hub.
| This is the driver side eccentric eliminator hardware. This is how it must be installed in the driver lower control arm |
| Here is the passenger side suspension. The upper and lower control arms and spindle are torqued. |
| At this point I am glad I purchased the special grease zert kit for the upper control arms. That is soooooo close. |
| This block of wood and this 1 1/16" deep well socket made it a breeze to remove the outer bearing race |
