No. It was my Mom and Dad's car and they purcahsed it new so I know the history and it has some sentimental value! I have owned the Capri 5.0 since new so it is great to have a couple of Fox bodies that have family ties!
Well after paying a shop to do my Capri, I decided to do my Mustang on my own... a real PITA! I got one side apart easy enough by dropping the strut. The problem is I am just centimeters from getting the new Motorsport "B" springs back in to the top with my wife bouncing on the spindle... don't laugh she is 5'8" and 125 lbs. Maybe I need a bigger wife!
Anyway, seems like the tie rod is bottoming out on the rack and limiting the A arm travel. Do you think disconnecting the tie rod will let the A arm drop a little bit more? I do have the lower part of the inner spring secured ot the A arm saddle so it won't slip out as I push the upper part of the spring in.
Any other suggestions? I do have a hook and screw type inside spring compressor, but I am worried about it lining with the hole in the A arm once I have it all togther. Any other pointers from those that have done this?
Didn't this suggestion cause a huge, 7+ page commotion in tech a few months back?
I've never seen this done in person, but the pictures I did see scared me half to death. To each his own, I guess.
