NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may result in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part numbers or equivalent part, if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts. STEP 1: To aid in installation, mark the rear shock absorber relative to the protective sleeve with the vehicle in a static, level ground position (curb height).

  • J&M Mustang Adjustable Panhard Rod (05-09)
    J&M Mustang Adjustable Panhard Rod (05-09) - Installation Instructions The below installation instructions work for the following products: • J&M Mustang Adjustable Panhard Rod (05-09) Please read through the instructions carefully before starting this project. Take the time to get all the materials together as well as all the safety equipment. Overview: The suspension of the 05+ Mustang went through some changes when compared to the earlier versions of the Mustang. The move to a three link suspension, necessitates the use of a panhard bar to center the rear axle under the car. Previous suspension arrangements kept the rear axle in a fixed spot, but the use of the panhard bar means that the rear axle’s position will shift slightly as the car is lowered. In fact, many owners may find their rear axle isn’t perfectly centered, even under stock conditions. In my case, the rear end not being perfectly centered was apparent once I installed 18x10 wheels and tires to fit them on the rear of my 2006 convertible. The Goodyear Supercar F1’s I had mounted on my wheels had a width of 285mm, and were considerably wider than the stock tires. While my test mounting of the wheels alone had the wheel safely tucked inside the quarter panel, with the tires mounted the center bulge of the sidewall was sitting nearly a half inch outside of the rear quarter panel on the driver’s side tire. It was readily apparent that, after comparing the rear wheels, the axle was off center. The cure was the J&M Adjustable Panhard Rod, which I promptly ordered.

  • Mgb 5-Link Rear Suspension Conversion
    MGB 5-LINK REAR SUSPENSION CONVERSION The Frontline 5-link rear suspension has been developed in conjunction with Harvey Bailey Engineering and is designed to completely replace the original rear suspension. We have used state-of-the-art processes and technology to produce a bolt-on conversion that transforms the ride quality, handling and traction of your car. The conversion consists of parallel trailing arms, axle and body locating brackets, coil over gas dampers and a panhard rod Before starting we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the components by laying them out in their correct positions. Spring hanger bracket Sub frame Twin trailing arms Coil over dampers Panhard rod body Top axle bracket mounting bracket Lower axle bracket Panhard rod Fitting instructions (See pictures A to O on separate sheet) 1. Jack the rear of the vehicle and support on axle stands. With the axle hanging, remove the rear wheels. Then position the jack under the diff so it just supports the weight of the rear axle. Ensure the axle stands are stable and wheel chocks are in place at the front. 2. Remove the lever arm top mounts. 3. Undo the U bolts securing the leaf springs and lever arm plates to the axle and remove along with the bump stop plates on top of the axle. 4. Undo the front spring hanger bolts to remove the spring eyes. 5. Remove the rear shackle bolts to complete the removal of the leaf springs from the car. 6. On rubber bumper models a stiffening web is found inside the front spring hangers and needs to be removed to give clearance for the lower trailing arm brackets.

    Suspension systems Suspension systems To understand vehicle performance and cornering, it is essential to have an in-depth understanding of the basic geometric properties of roads and suspensions, Including characteristics such as bump steer, roll steer, the various kinds of roll centre, and the relationships between them. 2 Suspension system 3 Suspension system 1. To provide good ride and handling performance – 2. To ensure that steering control is maintained during maneuvering 3. To ensure that the vehicle responds favorably to control forces produced by the tires as a result of longitudinal braking and accelerating forces, lateral cornering forces and braking and accelerating torques 4. To provide isolation from high frequency vibration arising from tire excitation The wheels, through the suspension linkage, must propel, steer, and stop the vehicle, and support the associated forces. 4 Suspension systems Langensperger’s independent steering of 1816 5 Suspension systems Ackermann steering effect achieved with parallel steering arms, by using angled drive points at the inner end of the track rods: ‘La Mancelle’, 1878.
