Mustang Stock Suspension / This did NOT work!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ย. 2024
- This mustang has been busing our tails this year, one issue after another! The changes that were made in the off season were upgrades that should have made the car faster. But, the changes made really changed the suspension set up. The main thing was lowering the car, I knew that it was increasing anti squat, but did not think it was increasing it to this point. When you see these numbers, you will see why we were having issues. Made these changes. Let's go see how the car works this week.

I would love to help you guys!! No charge!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!
Kevin, that would be awesome if you do a “collab” with these guys!! Try email Turbo john if he doesn’t get back to you on here.
Kevin, I’ve watch you explain the why’s, and I’m sure you can help them sort it out. Some will offer advice on what they have experienced, but understanding the “why” it reacts one way or another will get them on the right path.
Now this is a collaboration I would love to see! Two of my favorite channels!!!
Sharing your efforts and letting us see the numbers is appreciated. Now let's see how well the changes worked. May fortune smile upon you.
John, i’ll be honest. I don’t like it. With the rear so low like that and almost bottoming out and binding, you asking for trouble. When the suspension unloads, be it due to spin, or on the big end, the last thing you want it to do is bottom out/bind. When it does, its going to upsed that chasi and make very unpredictable.
I know ya’ll don’t want to raise the front end of that car but i think its going to need it eventually.
Try to find a way to mark the “suspect” areas with tape, or chaulk or zipties or something so you can easly tell if things are touching were they shouldnt.
I’m pretty sure ya’ll checked (didn’t mentioned on the vid). Make sure the driveshaft angle is happy, and since you lowered it check to make sure there is clearance at the yoke/tailhousing.
Good luck!!
You guys will get it figured out for sure, any new build or set up is a work in progress, stay positive 👍
Dont give up yet Randy!!!!! The ole car will come back around!!!!💪💪💪💪
Good thang Randy's got Deep Pockets, guys always spending money 💪🏁
You Can make it work....you just haven't yet.
Keep her chin up sir 🤘
I have faith you'll get it lined out .Randy dont fire him yet
The greater the challenge the greater the reward. You'll figure it out and go fast, I'm sure.
I think it needs an LS but who am I to say what you are trying to do. Don’t give up Tj you will figure it out. Good luck and stay safe
I've been looking at Baseline suspension relocation kits for my fairmont. Good info on there!
213% is aggressive!!! Think the car will like the changes you made this time. Also, you should take Kevin Wilson up on his offer! Would make for some awesome content for both channels!
Wow those percentages is off big time I think the changes you made should help it out a lot but there again I think your gonna have to add weight to the rear to get the percentages right.
Agree your on the right track 213 neg anti Squad was way too much. if you need to, at the track lower the upper bars one hole down on the rear end that will put your anti Squad real close to 120% positive anti squat or just your lower shock brackets of one ot two whole and raise your ride height an inch 😉
It happens. I've seen two identical Mopar a bodies, identical setups. One would hook in the mud and the other took an entire season to get worked out. Extremely demoralizing.
GAAHHHH, now thats what you call clearance🤣. That 160% 31”IC should keep it planted but imo the front brought up 3/4” will help some more too
Thanks for the update TJ!
I’d look at dropping front bottom bar down one hole, top housing side down to the bottom hole
Will take more bite out of it
Thanks for the infos
I think you need more front suspension travel. Also, what is the anti-squat at full extension?
🤞🤞 it works, such a nice build.
Torque boxes have some heavy reinforcement l guess
Curious why the car even went to the track before plotting out the suspension? Car underwent a pretty substantial rebuild, moving weight and ride height around, both significant in respect to how a car gets down a track
Having front perctage that much on front 100 pounds in rear will bring it back to 58 perctage If it was my decision run instant center out in 40 range lowering the anti squat will give more weight transfer longer instant center will make big difference
Well John. I dont think anybody needs to get fired. I think you should solicit some help though. What you need to do is 1 of 2 things. #1. Pool your money together and hire Steve Petty for a day of test&tune at whatever venue he selects. Will it be expensive??? Possibly. #2. Find you a MUSTANG GURU who has won more small tire events with a MUSTANG and a similar combo than any other human who drag races.
Poor Randy. I feel horrible for him. Get yourself some help John. Itll save you a ton of stress brother. And this suspension setup isnt gonna work either. Its gonna bind and upset the chassis and cause it to react sporadic and unpredictable. Looks cool,.......but won't function properly. Call it a hunch.
It's going to work 💪
Sure hope it works 💪
What about your other Mustang, is it still kicking?
It's gonna be much better 💪
Love the tech stuff.
I’d like to see a video about this but with no prep, what percentage seems to work best, do you run a agressive bar angle then slow the rear shocks down or run less aggressive and loosen them up etc
And everyone says a foxbody has an advantage. Let em come make my car hook and tell me then. I learn from you tho.
How many inches is it from the back if you're block to the rear end??? Just curious.
Hey are you going to street car takeover in Charlotte
Tighten shocks hit it with more power
Hackin Randy's shit. He's gotta be flippin out lol
Hey I'm trying to understand why you think it needs to be so long in the rear, I'm afraid when you add a hundred pounds to the rear the housing will be touching the floor which will not work at all
Why not raise the front end up at least an inch what will that hurt
Try the new Hartz turbo
I noticed the four link bolts are coarse thread. How bout some an or nas bolts?
Turbo John what you need to do is get big country Corey swanstrom up here and let him Tuned that car and get that car right for y'all and let y'all have at it he's the man to do it and have Randy out there whooping these boys and girls on the tracks
Are his lower control arm brackets on rear end not moved in?
I think it needs more weight hanging off the front 😲
Were you using the shock locations to adjust ride height?
Hey John,, maybe check out Kevin Wilson u tube channel , great setup videos
You essentially had a very short ladder bar😥
It’s the front suspension. To low and reacting fast.
