Overview / Front Suspension / Rear Suspension / Sway Bars / Front Brakes / Rear Brakes

The base Torino is equipped with a recirculating ball steering box, and both cars came from the factory with power steering.  The boxes are notable for wearing over the years to the point that there is 5-10% of play in the wheel while driving - not exactly the responsiveness we are looking for.  The first though was to get an aftermarket kit from someone like RRS, but after pricing one of the kits, the goal quickly changed to making our own setup. Since the plan is to run SVT Cobra components, it is only natural to retain these components in the mix.  This offers several advantages - bolts right up to the K member, maintains all of the Cobra's suspension points, and it much lighter than the cast iron pieces.  On top of this, the parts are cheap as you can see below, and will also integrate into the Hydroboost system.  Roush eccentric steering rack mount bushings will be used, since the car will sit lower than a stock Mustang Cobra. We are going to have to make up a custom intermediate shaft, and likely several other pieces by the time we are done.
