  I've long wondered about adapting macpherson strut suspension into my '63 Fairlane using junkyard parts. You're the first guy I've seen do this from start to finish, so congrats. The one thing I'd really not be happy with personally is having to cut and extend those steering knuckles out like that. I don't know if those are cast or forged or what, but I absolutely wouldn't trust that at all on my own car. Perhaps with some gusseting. But I'd prefer to simply find a knuckle with closer geometry so I wouldn't have to resort to cutting. The trouble is finding something similar from a platform with as much aftermarket support as an s13 is not easy.

• 
  @cooperc2403 ай бұрын

  I was comfortable with cutting and welding the knuckles because i have done it before, a bunch of times. Hopefully I can get to work on swapping in a power rack and pinion soon, and then I'd go back to oem "uncut" knuckles.

  I can’t understand why a person would take a completed car and cobble a front suspension in it then wonder why the Ford guys didn’t like it. Plenty of half ass work!

  Basically you made a true coil over strut suspension for a few hundred dollars with small modifications to it vs a coil around shock, coil over shock or some wild $1500+ kit that im sure would need modifying anyway plus your set up came with a modernish disc brakes that parts can be picked up at any parts store across the country not some one off or antique parts nobody had in stock. This is the perfect drag n drive set up i have been looking for for my fairlane. Thanks

  Aldan makes a coil-over kit for the 62-65 Fairlane that doesn't call for modification of the shock tower or upper control arm. It's less than $1000. You can also get adjustable strut rods from OpenTracker Racing for 62-65 Fairlane for $425.

• 
  @cooperc2407 ай бұрын

  those aren't true coilovers. those are springs over a shock. the coilovers I installed are true coilovers (spring and shock all in one unit, with the spring "contained"). Look at pictures and you will see the differences I am talking about. I believe I saw those strut rods before I did this swap. No way I was spending that kind of money, but to each their own!

  @@bigfish8473 I wanted to keep it original also, but I was having a horrible time trying to get a good alignment with the stock setup.
