![]() ![]() My biggest concern though is that you might just be beyond the usable misalignment range that your suspension will allow. Sometimes all is revealed just by looking in "real time". I think another tact I might take is to pull the spring out and set the height static, and just run the suspension up and doen through it's arc. Pretty sure those are forgings, shouldn't be a big deal. Are the tie rods truly following the same arc as the lower arms? I think I would heat and drop the arms so that I could truly control the amount they were moved. A couple of the bumpsteer corrector kits I have seen I was less than impressed with. Steering arms shorter, different height, something. I've seen so many afx comets & falcons raised up with the stock suspension, is there some alignment trick they are using? thanks for any info.Ĭan't help but think that the mustang spindles have some sort of geometric difference that is holding this deal up. My car is as follows, 62 ford ranchero, mustang disk brakes, lowered upper a arm (shelby mod) 65 mustang heavy duty springs. anybody ever had this happen on one of these suspensions before? i'm out of ideas & money, & right now the car is undriveable. the toe changes so damn crazy, also as your driving it seems to raise the front end up pretty crazy, ride height changes at least 3 inches. i limped the car to the alignment shop 4 blocks away, alignment guy did his best to align it, but said it needed a bumpsteer corrector kit, to lower the tie rod ends down. the old parts i took out were pretty worn, so was hoping thats all it was but i wasnt. also inspected everywhere looking for cracks or breaks in the towers & frame, cause this thing feels broken. ![]() new ball joints, tie rods, idler arm, springs, shocks, spring saddles, etc. ripped the suspension apart and replaced everything. the toe changes drastically, i mean from 1/8" toe in to about 1" or more toe out upon accelleration! its totally undrivable now. ever since i raised the car back up its been doing weird stuff.

Come check out this awesome 63.5 Falcon Sprint! The engine has been changed from a 260 to a 289. Undercarriage and engine bay haven't been detailed and are original and solid. Factory colors with 1 repaint about 15yrs ago. Great driver that hasn't been fully restored. In simplest terms, the 1963½ Falcon Sprint is nearly mechanically identical to the 1964½ Mustang, while being aesthetically different.īelieved to Have Only 84,702 Original Miles On Body Many (if not most) of the interior, chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components were derived from those used on the 1963½ Ford Falcon Sprint and/or Fairlane models. These first-generation Falcon Sprint cars were the basis for the 1964½ Mustangs released by Ford one year later. The only time a V8 option was available in a first-generation Falcon was the 1963½ model, and these cars were produced in very limited numbers (Sprint two-door hardtop (bucket seats) 10,479 produced and Sprint convertible (bucket seats) 4,602 produced). The body was Ford's first unibody car and featured a swooped “fast back” design with a pillar-less window design. What makes the Sprint model unique is that they were delivered with a 260 cubic inch Windsor V8 and had an available floor mounted 4 speed gearbox which was known as a “top loader”. In late 1963 Ford released it's first unibody 'thin wall” v8 powered vehicle, the Falcon and Futura. 63 1/2 Falcon Sprint V8 4-spd " Top Loader " ![]()
