Here's a question;

Does anyone know what the size and taper on the front upper ball joint is? Is it the same as a mid '70's Mustang?

I came across a couple neat adjustable control arms for a Mustang that if the ball joint shafts are the same may be a direct bolt on to the Pantera, although I think you would have to be using the smaller 2.5" dia. coil over shocks.

This could allow more caster and work out a lot cheaper than the modified Pantera arms, especially if I add in the fact that I wouldn't need camber locks.

Thoughts anyone? Am I crazy, has soemone tried this already?

No Joules ...I think your on to something ... It would be a simple calcualtion .. measuring the openings at each end of the spindle and depth ..should give you the pitch .. I;m right at that stage in my car and would love to see the results. I could measure it up ...but would like to see what the Mustang Vendors mesurments are ??

Well, guess what Summit had one of the units in the right photo in their clearance section on Sunday and for the $100 investment I picked it up. I had to leave right after for work in Canada and won't be back home until Sept 21, but will make all the measurements at that time, then we'll see how crazy I am....

I figure I can get my $100 back on Ebay if it doesn't work.
