RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

........................

A drawback with lowered small Ford Mac strut front ends in IP is the difficulty of getting camber compensation and a reasonable non-bending-load tie rod to steering arm relationship when the bump steer has been sorted.

Given that struts and steering arms are free in Improved Production a substitute knuckle with arms that carry the outer BJ a la Mazda or Nissan would help.
The other option would be to fabricate and weld to the Escort knuckle a dropped ball joint carrier that also moved the steering arm down; in effect lift the stub axle to do the lowering.

Momus,

Are u making / selling these stub sleeves and hubs, cause I know some people interested in them.

Very nice indeed Momus.
What truck did you get those bearings off
No pad knock back happening with those.

Colours ? I like lots of them, especially yellow wheels

Roger, I make the Spindle Sleeve Hub sets for a variety of cars including the small Fords.

I've done them for V8 Capri's, Escorts and Mk1 Cortinas in steel and 7075 aluminium.
Everybody wanted something different as far as offset and brake mounting so the hubs are not off the shelf.
The spindles are TIG welded to the original upright and the assembly eliminates stub axle flex which improves braking and cornering. The bearings are oversized come set up with preload spacers which allows the spindle nuts to be done up full tight. Around $1250 a pair.
