Well..it's only preliminary but I just got back from a test ride and it seems to be tracking straight! It is no where near like it was before. I can actually take my hands off the wheel. I am going to take it in this weekend since the first shop I brought it to said I can bring it back for...

Here is a pic of the UCA with the eyes moved forward. My zirk is all the way to the rear like the driver sid now.

Hello All....I have the UCA out of the car. What is the trick to removing the mounting bolts so I can spin the eyes forward? Is just brute force with a mallet? I cannot seem to make them budge. I see from the pics that they obviously come out. Am I missing something? Please disregard....I...

I got it off of ebay...... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-1965-1966-FORD-MUSTANG-V8-260-289-Aluminum-Racing-Radiator-New-AT-MT-3-ROW-/150991432468 I haven't ran around town with it, only ran it in the garage after I put fluid back in. I like it so far but I had to modify the mounting holes. It...

Here are a few. It's hard to tell the depth (i'm not the picture taker in the family) but like I said, I think I am getting on the right track. Any input in regards to the strut arm lengths? Is it ok to dial in a little more caster on one side, in turn, making the lengths not equal? I also...

I love the paint on her...that is a flat black right?

Ok...I got the pulley on...the bolt, washer, and nut that came with it got it done for me!

Ok...I got the passenger side tore down. There is actually about 1/4" clearance between the zirk and the rear of the shock tower. The driver side zirk is almost touching the rear of the shock tower. I am thinking this is a good sign. I will rotate the eyes forward on the passenger side until...

Thanks Dennis! I took off my front wheels and looks at the upper control arm that I am having issues with. (passenger side) I noticed that the rear zerk fitting is almost touching the rear of the shock tower. Will rotating the eyes forward create more space there? I am thinking that it...

Thank you very much!!!! I have read about this but could never picture it. I know see what what everyone is talking about and I did not even look at this when I installed the UCA. Now in relation to being centered, which way would I want the eyes of the shaft (towards the front or rear of...

Gotcha...the factory spec's I was referring to was the frame specs. I have the alignment specs that everyone uses for the new tires/Shelby drop. I have a feeling that I won't be able to get her aligned properly until I figure out what is going on with the passenger side. I appreciate the...

Quick update...my adjustable struts have not arrived yet. I have made an appointment to get my car's frame looked at. Supposedly this shop can download the right spec's and let me know if she out of whack. I'm just waiting on a call back. In the mean time, I am replacing my radiator and...

Hello again! I am replacing my power steering pump and have a question about the pulley. I picked up a pulley puller and have the pulley removed. My question is how is the correct way to reinstall the pulley on the new pump. I've read where you can use the puller to reinstall. The problem is...

I am having a hard time visualizing this. Can you explain it a little more? The only shaft I remember had a bushing around it. Is this the one? I didn't think this came out? I apologize, as you can tell, I'm new at this. I definitely did not take any bolts out, I just installed them as...

Thanks for the video! Quick question...how do you read the 15 degrees on the caster setup if you do not have those plates? Does the Fasttrax tool have that reading as well? Oh, almost forgot, thanks for the link to the UCA, I couldn't find them before. That is an awesome design but they are...

Great info, I really appreciate it. We went over the measurements for the shelby drop numerous times before we drilled so I am confident that we got that right. (down an inch and back 1/8th if memory serves me correctly?) I am going to put her up on Jack stands this weekend and look over the...

Thanks for the reply Dennis. I understand everything you said. The thing that is killing me is why could they get positive caster on the driver side but not on the passenger? I talked to the mechanic and he said that he Putin as many shims as he felt comfortable doing. I am assuming that...

Hello All... I have a 1966 coupe, 289, c4 transmission. I just got finished with a front end suspension rebuild. I replaced both upper and lower control arms, all new bushings, rebuilt the control valve, new idler arm, tie rods, and did the Shelby drop while I was in there. That is the...

It's me again. I am still having issues with my rear tail light. It now partially works, but it is a little confusing to me. It lights up when I have head lights on and when I use my blinker, but does not work when I have the brakes applied. Any ideas? It's only two wires and I would have...

@Gene, thanks for the great run down. I will try a few of those this weekend. Something I noticed yesterday; I put new rims/tires on and after I finished the right side (the side that clunks) I noticed that is was sitting up higher than the left. I bounced my weight on it to see if it would...
