We saw that this IFS was an economical, good handling system that installs easily on frames measuring 34” outside width. However, at 68” hub to hub they are 7” wider than the 61” original suspensions on 1953-79 Ford pickup and 1955-59 Chevy pickup. Attempts to narrow this suspension by cutting and re-welding the crossmember (often changing to a different rack and pinion) will lead to a greatly complicated installation as well as bumpsteer problems. Although the factory Crown Vic wheels have a very heavy backspace (as do the 1994-2018 Mustang wheels often used with this suspension) tire to fender clearance remains limited. To allow better clearance we have developed these control arms which are narrowed 1” per side.
Warning: These arms will not accept the OE police interceptor coilover/ shock. They are too large to fit within the large diameter/ heavy wall tubing we use on the lower arms.
