SLA 79-93 Mustang OE

This bolt-in SLA (Short-Long-Arm) suspension system replaces the McPherson strut design with a billet aluminum upper control arm, tubular lower arm and spindles with S-550 Mustang hub's. This design greatly improves negative camber gain and overall suspension geometry. Available with either Ridetech Coil-Overs or Shockwave air suspension. (Sold separately)

The factory strut design offers very little camber gain and poor overall geometry. This design incorporates an upper control arm to induce negative camber gain. This positions the tire perpendicular to the pavement through the corners without the need for excessive static camber. Caster, roll center and Ackerman angles were also optimized.

The bolt-in frame surrounds create attachment points for the upper control arms and the shocks, this keeps all of the load on the frame rails. The upper and lower arms feature Delrin bushings to minimize stiction. The spindles utilize S550 Mustang hubs to prevent flex and are compatible with S550 or SN-95 Mustang brakes. (Sold separately)

Camber gain is 1.25 deg./inch. Positive caster setting from 7-9 degree's. Bumpsteer is nearly eliminated, under .050". Tire clearance improved on lower arm to allow 30 degree’s of steering angle with up to a 275mm wide tire (minimum 17"). This system is compatible with the stock sway bar or most aftermarket sway bars. This system is design for the stock k-member (not compatible with stock 84-86 SVO k-member.)

Reference Information

Front SLA Suspension System for 1979-1993 Mustang with stock k-member.

RideTech 1979-93 Mustang bolt-in SLA (Short-Long-Arm) front suspension systems replace the stock McPherson strut design with a billet aluminum upper control arm, tubular lower arm and spindles with S550 Mustang hubs. The factory strut design offers very little camber gain and poor overall geometry. This design greatly improves negative camber gain, which positions the tire perpendicular to the pavement through the corners without the need for excessive static camber and overly stiff spring rates. Caster, roll center and Ackerman angles were also optimized. These suspension systems are compatible with either Ridetech coilovers or Shockwave air suspension (sold separately).

SLA front suspension systems are available in two fitment styles:
• To fit STOCK K-Members (except 84-86 SVO)
• To fit many AFTERMARKET K-Members, including Maximum Motorsports, Team Z, AJE and UPR

Additional product features:
• Incorporates an upper control arm to induce much-needed negative camber gain
• Caster, roll center, bump steer and Ackerman angles are optimized
• Bolt-in frame surrounds create attachment points for the upper control arms and the shocks. This keeps the load on the frame rails for maximum strength and reduced NVH
• Upper and lower arms feature Delrin© bushings infused with PTFE to minimize stiction and eliminate the need for lubrication
• Spindles include Moog S550 Mustang rear hubs for maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance
• Lower control arm design improves tire clearance and steering angle 30 degrees with up to a 275mm wide tire

Fitment:
• Uses S550 (15-23) or SN95 (94-04) Mustang brake systems (caliper brackets sold separately)
• 17 in. minimum wheel diameter
• Compatible with stock and most aftermarket sway bars

Specifications:
• Negative camber gain: 1.25 degrees/in.
• Positive caster: 7-9 degrees
• Bump steer: under .050 in.
• Lowers ride height: 1-2 in.
• 50 lbs. lighter than stock suspension
• Stock track width
