SpeedTech has a pretty nifty fix for the front “folding taco” lower control arms....

I’ll post up some pics when the work is done and I get pics that show what they’ve come up with.

Gotta love it when a good shop does good things!!

Hey Greg, maybe you know or Blake. What was the purpose of the independent links? How does it differ than having a one piece lower?
Seems a simple tube tying the two links together would solve the issue, but there must be a reason they don't?

The way it is set up when you adjust the caster by lengthening the rear bent tube it pivots on the joint that is out at the ball joint so it needs to be independent or it will just bind.

Greg...dude. I’m shocked about two things. First, that Sauceboy is still pimping his wares...and, two...how much junk he installed in your track Stang. My mind goes to “what the hell do you do to someone who won’t pay, who you don’t like?, much less a dude like Weld who bent over backwards”

Gregg, as long as we are musing, I was putting my shirt on this morning. (Hey it's still a comfortable shirt, and I definitely can't wear it in public anymore) and something struck my funny bone.

How can one have a book tour without ever publishing a book?
