Mustang Suspension for everyday use – Your Suspension Parts for everyday use

July 13, 2009

The myth now is that a really stiff suspension is what you want. Yes, if your out at the track trying to take the competition every weekend, then that’s exactly what you want. You would want somthing to handle the tight curves at high speeds as much as possible. However for the average motorist, an avarage suspension is suffeciant. You obviously want a set of shocks, and struts that aren’t stiff as a board, but you don’t want loose, and sloppy like you were riding in a water bed either. The perfect balance is not to have the car bounce up and down when you push on the front, or rear end with your hand, and to have the car keep bouncing. (that means your shocks, or struts are worn.)

Other parts of your suspension you will want to look at are your upper and lower control arms. As well you will want to check your sway bar bushing ends. The rubber over time can, and will deteriate forcing you to eventually relplace them. Our website has a good selection of new suspension parts that are just right for your Mustang. Each part has the year next to the part, so you will know what should fit your ride. Although worn rubber gromits on your control arms can go for a while, eventually you will want to replace the units, as dirt, and water will get in there preventing the lubrication to do its job. Eventually you will hear a slight grinding, or squeeking noise in the front end. That’s a sure tale sign it’s time to replace them.
