If you drive on the street and use regular street tires and obey traffic laws... .. the rear leafs have plenty of resistance to sideways flex and they will work fine. Rear leafs are quite a bit superior to the quadra bind four link set up in fox Mustangs. You can feel a definite shift as the rear axle finds its steady state position in a Fox.ozstang65 said:I've always considered one of these type of setups for my '65, but i'd use a system the same as my current Falcon has, with the pivot (propellor?) welded to the diff centre and brackets welded or bolted to the chassis rails.
Is there really any benefit for a Watts Link on a Leaf Spring rear end anyway? With modern poly bushes there's not much room for sideways flex, is there
From my understanding, panhard bars are a big compromise with noticable handling differences between turning one way or the other.

Most over-the-axle dual exhaust systems will need to be modified to fit.

Oh yeah, one other ? how the H*!! did you get the shafts out of all the spring perches you built? I got a set out of a junk yard and ended up destroying the shafts and they still aren't out
I've seen the Fatman setup in person & it's OK. It's the front half of two single leaf springs acting as trailing arms and a Panhard bar. There are coilovers going from a beefed-up version of the original lower shock mount up to the original upper shock mounts (with a tiny bit of reinforcement). He says it rides great, which it probably does, but I'd make a lot of structural mods to it for more than just boulevard cruising.wannabegt66 said:has anyone seen the new rear suspension by fat man ? if i remember correctly it consists of 2 half leaf springs (front half like control arm), a panhard rod, and a torque arm. this being said i would also like some opinions on the tcp catilever rear, i have been looking at trying to make one for a while
