Using this thread as the source: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260795 I added the Moog PN CC850 which fits the 1990 and other year Ford Aerostar (3.0 or 4.0 engine). I already had 2.75 inch dropped spindles. Image 1: 3.5 inch difference over stock. http://images54.fotki.com/v564/photos/4/266534/8159695/118_1894-vi.jpg Image 2: 22.75 inches with the appropriate tire tuck. http://images52.fotki.com/v304/photos/4/266534/8159695/118_1897-vi.jpg Image 3: Praise the Lowered! http://images52.fotki.com/v733/photos/4/266534/8159695/118_1898-vi.jpg My car already had 2.75 inch drop spindles on it prior. The car now s****es when I get in and out of the driveway.
your right up my alley, man! I love it when they s****e! looks great can you get a picture of it on the street to see the whole car?
Looks good... How is the ride??? Here is a picture of my '55 Ranchwagon, Granada Spindles and 1" lower blocks.
Vein, I forgot to take a pic of it in the street. I'll do that sometime this week. The ride is actually much better, but that is due to not having worn out springs. It corners flatter, so the motorboat sway is gone and it only hits the bumpstops on very rough roads. I have 3 inch blocks on the rear, but I plan to get rid of those and go for a 4 inch lowered leaf spring. The front end will come down about another 3/4 inch once the suspension has settled, so it will be a total of 5.25" drop over stock on the front.
my car also has the big swing. I plan on doing the same. but it has been downpouring non stop here in the northwest. how long did it take to change out the front end?
I'm using KYB's Gas-A-Just all around as well. The total project took me about 2 and a half hours. Because I had issues with the ball joint, had to go to the store to buy three pickle forks (none of them worked) before buying the lever press which got me through it. Jerry came by to lend a hand and laugh at me due to some missteps and low blood sugar from not eating all day.
Here are my KYB numbers and some extra information: Front kyb KG4503 stock rear kyb KG5517, I think, I would have to check my records of what I used because in the same time I was looking up parts for this car I came across a lowered rear KYB pn KG5514 which is - extended 4" shorter than stock, compressed is 2" shorter than stock. Or KG4503 which is - extended 3" shorter than stock 1"1/4" shorter compressed than stock.
