[net.auto] 64-66 Mustang Suspensions

duane@ucla-cs.UUCP (09/28/84)

I recently purchased a 66 Mustang. It's completely stock. After having
it for awhile, I've noticed that the front seems to ride lots higher than
the rear. There a lots of old Mustangs around LA and I've noticed that
the unlevel ride is extremely common in the 6 cylinder versions (no 289
emblem on the front fenders) and fairly uncommon in the V8 versions.

Does anyone know if they were designed this way or if the extra weight
of the 289 just wore down suspension components over the years. Any
ideas will be welcome. I'm sure if I go to a mechanic they'll suggest
new shocks, springs, tie rods, tires, and heavy duty front hub caps.
