Invincibleextremes Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Yeah, the fronts. I'm not really following you. I can't imagine there being any hub deflection if that's what you're saying may happen. These parts are designed for a car over a thousand pounds heavier.

AkumaY Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 what are you doing for the main lower balljoint? same dimensions? got pics of this all setup? i really dig the concept and idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I bought 2014 mustang lower control arms for 50 bucks each, and I'm going to splice the tip with the 240z control arm, making a hybrid arm. I can't afford the wheels or I would have all this built already. Actually... ordering the wheels today, so hope to have it hacked together soon.

Invincibleextremes Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Almost done setting up the front with 13.2 inch brakes and 17x9.5 wheels with 4 inch backspace. Going to use techno toy tuning 5/8 tie rod ends. And still need to clean up the caliper where it touches the wheels (wouldnt be an issue if i ised 12.4 inch brakes) and fab up the 2014 mustang ball joint to the control arm. Using the 240z isolator was easy, worked out pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Splicing in a 2014 mustang ball joint pocket was a piece of cake. It all came together no problems. Using the factory srt4 bottom strut hole and placing the top of the mustang spindle against the strut when drilling the upper hole sets it up with the perfect camber at ride height. Just a touch negative. My only concern is the strut and ball joint are no longer in line with each other. It's close, but the strut is inboard by 1 inch on this setup. I'll be paying close attention to it to see if this affects the shock any. It's not as drastic as the factory rear suspension. But I'll still be looking into what can possibly be done about this...

wrenchtech Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) How do you position the ball joints before welding? Do you have some kind of jig to hold things so that your work is consistent and precise? Would love to see something about your differential swap too.

Geno750 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 You mentioned the rear conversion you did in another thread, got pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Working on the rear at the same time, I should have it all together in a few days and have more pictures. The ball joint is the stub cut off the 2014 mustang lower, and I trace it and cut off the pocket for the factory datsun ball joint location. Then locate the mustang stub on the control arm and weld away. Next to impossible to mess up... there's nowhere for it to be besides exactly where you cut out for it, because you traced it in the first place...

There's a thread in the drivetrain forum about the diff swap. You can also follow my work on my youtube channel or it's Facebook page.
