Slotted strut instructions

[Ugly John]

Does anyone have the instructions for slotting the struts? I thought I had seen them here before, but searching isn't turning anything up for me....

Search my username from at least one year ago. Probably in a suspension thread. Or buy a temporary subscription from Helm if you aren't willing to buy the whole FSM .

Edit:. Tried searching with no luck so I guess I didn't post the info. Can't post it for a week or so at least.

Here's the thread http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22975&highlight=camber+fsm

Long story short, there are two 24mm bolts connecting the wheel hub to the bottom of the strut.

Factory procedure for getting extra camber on a problem car allows for slotting the top hole up to 2mm towards the center of the car, allowing the top of the hub to pivot back for more negative camber. Probably gets you 2.2-2.5 degrees of total camber in the front.

I did see that post, but the pictures aren't there anymore.

Search through F Street thread - I am pretty sure Dick R or TomR (or both) posted pics out of the Helm's manual on how to do it.

They did, but they're not showing up now. At first I thought it was my computer, but I've tried it on several and they all show the same thing.

Any reason you can't use these?

DickR, I got these from one of your posts sometime last year. Hope you don't mind me reposting them via my photo hosting corner of the web.

Perfect! Many thanks!

Steve - Thanks for posting since I can't do it for awhile.

Looks like the manual calls for different bolts. Anyone have the part number for those?

 

[SteveW]

I haven't checked fordparts.com in forever but I don't believe Ford has any official camber/crash bolts listed yet.

FS cars are just using the oem splined bolts in the slots. Higher prep levels can ditch those for aftermarket alternatives

Ford has an alternate (non-splined) bolt in the system.
Part number is W715295*S439
