Data from a customer I received shows the inner tie rods to be exactly the same length as a standard Fox inner tie rod.
Follow up question time.
Does anyone have a stock SVO inner tie rod that they could measure the length of?
Option #1 (prefered)
With the tie rod removed from the steering rack, measure to...
Correction, the MMTR-6 is not 5.55". It is 6.82" long, so the MMTR-1 or -2 should be used which have a length of 5.92".
You need to put the car on a drive on lift, then take very careful measurements of the fore/aft and up/down measurements of the RLCA and UCA pivot points. Take these relative to the ground plane for...
Coil springs almost never wear out. They may crack and break, but this is usually from a worn out spring isolater causing a stress riser in the spring or rust creating a stress riser. If a spring...
The oil between the strut housing and the insert is just for heat conduction. It has no affect on damping, unless the strut insert gets hot.
The strut to spindle bolts have a 21mm head.
I would...
The MMCC7989 c/c plates are designed to use the non onion head strut mount dust boots. SVO Mustangs came with onion head strut mounts. These all used a dust boot which is not a straight tube. The...
You mentioned earlier in the thread that you replaced the lower shock to LCA bolts with grade 8 models. I would undo this change.
The Ford bolts are 14mm grade 9.8. This is 0.55" diameter. If you...
I'm shocked that they agreed to make one pair of springs for only $325. Assuming they follow all of the steps on their website, I don't see how they aren't losing money.
The rotational angle of the steering wheel has no affect on anything, other than how it looks. The inner tie rod pivots need to be equal distance from the centerline of the car. Assuming that the...
We recommend grinding down the OD of the bumpstop plate, rather than removing it. Cover the strut shaft in a thick layer of tape before doing this.
The welds on the OD of the housing can be...
BRSVO,
In the bump travel direction, your graph for the left and right side curve in the opposite directions. This means that the steering rack is not centered. Your rack is moved too much towards...
I plan on using the Modern Driveline kit for my 2.3EB installation. It by far appears to be the best engineering solution that I've seen for the Fox chassis. I do know that it won't work with a...
The high pressure fuel pump is on the back of the cylinder head plus there is a large water jacket bolted on also.
I'm positive that Ford has built different model CII pumps for the slow (20:1) and fast (15:1) steering rack applications. The pumps have different cams in them to change the displaced volume per...
The major problem with building cable parts for the SVO is that we'd need an unmolested car here for test fitment and installation instructions. That means at least 4-5 days spread over a period that...
Mike,
That's a good point. I guess that the ball just embeds into the hole in the clevis and never moves. All of the motion is between the clevis and pin.
I was thinking about taking a Ford...
I've got some questions about the dimensions of the ball end of the main clutch cable on an SVO. Unfortunately we don't have a car here to look at. The goal here is to determine if there is any way...
And of course making more changes will reduce costs.....NOT!
With the Delrin bushings and c/c plates, you can afford to run less static toe in/more toe out since the toe isn't going to change dynamically under braking.

The pinion angle has nothing to do with the amount of antisquat or has any affect on traction whatsoever. Having the relationship between the pinion angle and driveline angle set incorrectly, will...
The MMBK1F hoses will fit. The MMBK1R hose (rear center) only fits on the 1985.5 and 1986 models as they have dual exhaust and therefore changed to the 8.8" style rear brake hose (left side of...
Brian, Mike and I will be there with the MM display for anyone that has questions.
Mercedes will win. Ferrari will do worse than they did last year as Vettel can't adapt to a car that was designed without his influence. McLaren will do better with the Honda engine as they've had...
Nope. I think I threw out a pair about 15 years ago.
