Drastically Improve Your ’64-’70 Ford Mustang’s Handling with A Mustang II IFS Crossmember
The original first generation Mustang front suspension, due to shared platform limitations, is compromise that doesn’t really do anything well. Wheel and tire fitment, braking, steering, and more are severely lacking, especially for today’s road speeds and modern engine power output. You’ll be in for some hair raising steering feel, or lack thereof, when you get up to highway speed with the old steering system and the Bendix-sourced power steering is getting harder and harder to find parts to keep it functional and leak free. Lastly, even getting a first generation Mustang aligned is tough these days, as most shops do not even mess with cars that use alignment shims. Solve all your issues by updating your classic first generation Mustang’s suspension for a well-engineered weld-in IFS solution utilizing the tried and true suspension geometry that debuted on the 1974 Mustang II.

Built Strong to Handle the Road Ahead and Look Good Doing It
Converting your ’64-’70 Mustang (or ’67-’70 Mercury Cougar) chassis to the Mustang II front suspension design with our crossmember kit brings you a whole different driving experience, one that will have you looking for any excuse to get out on the open road and take long trips to events you never attended before due to your Ford’s poor handling at modern highway speeds. Beginning with our 7 gauge steel (that’s a full 3/16 of an inch thick) boxed Mustang 2 front suspension crossmember that is fully welded with extended vertical uprights we have designed in anti-dive geometry to our crossmember and spring towers. Suspension travel, which yields a better ride, is upwards of five inches with our IFS and aligning the IFS can be handled easily by any competent alignment shop.

Rack-and-pinion steering provides a quick and crisp steering effort at any road speed, and we have designed our rack mounting tabs to not only be optimized to eliminate bump steer but lay the steering rack back at a 20 degree angle to facilitate a lower steering shaft angle. This helps with exhaust manifold/header and overall engine clearance. The mounts accept both 15-1/2-inch and 16-inch on center rack mount spacing. Lastly, upgrading to a weld-in IFS Mustang 2 front end kit greatly enhances your braking options with the ability to run the most basic disc brake package all the way up to serious multi-piston racing disc brakes. Track width is dependent upon the brake package and control arms you choose, usually creating a 56-1/2- to 58-1/2-inch hub-to-hub IFS width with stock arm length. We do offer 5/8-inch narrower upper and lower control arms if needed for specific wheel placement in your application. As you can see, our crossmember is the perfect foundation for building the best Mustang II front suspension for your ’64-’70 Ford Mustang.
