Just a few pictures of the frontend. Not sure if I need some washes in a couple of places. Take a look at the photo. In betweent the rubber shock mounts and behind the bolt heads on the a arms.

Looks Good. I added washers to the upper control arms. Make sure that both arms do not bind. That there is good movment up and down. Im going through some issues right now with the driver side front tire rubbing slightly when turning right on an offramp or going over a bump. Going to try and lossen it up alittle today.

The upper A arm is very stiff. I loosen the end bolts but still stiff. There is no way to add grease. Is there a way to take it apart and grease?

Maybe these will help. There may be other shots at my buildsite http://www.priveye.com/cobra.htm

Its difficult to tell right now if it right. If you torque it to the specs of mustang 2 suspension then you should be ok. Now when you have your car sitting on the ground with tires, engine and body:then when you go and lift the body by the wheel well and it stays at that position instead of dropping back down on it's own. You know that something is binding like mine is doing right now. My tire is still rubbing. I think i am going to lower my rear end by a hole or two and see what happens.
