Re: 47-54 Chevy Front Suspension

When this was posted I was part way through an install, now that the install is done I figured I'd give a Sponsor some air time.

This was installed on a 56 Ford F100, this same kit is used on Chevrolet trucks also.

A couple of pics are sideways but still tell a story.

Interesting, the geometry of the A arms are based on 1978-1981 Camaro. The alignment machine was programmed for the Camaro and alignment was quick and easy.

Setting Caster and Camber requires no shims. All adjustments are upper control arm pivot. The large aluminum piece fitted into the main outer sleeve is drilled offset so the long bolt going through the control arm bushings move inward and outward adjusting camber when rotating the aluminum piece. Just sliding the aluminum piece forwards and backwards adjusts caster. then tighten the set screws.

Nice sway bar adjustable links also.
