The best thing about the Mll front end is it was designed for the Pinto but they call it Mustang because of the Pinto fuel tank issues-
The overall best part of the design is the geometry package that is about the best you can get for a sensible street driven light weigh vehicle. Bump steer, brake anti-dive, etc.
But, as hot rodders do--------put it anywhere ---------in any size/weigh vehicle--------
I think that the situation that puts more strain than anything else is the twisting of the whole package under heavy braking plus hitting an occasional bump at the same time-imagine that someone has your arm twisted way around very tight and then hits you very hard in the shoulder---------these oem cars had little 13 inch wheels , small brakes and light weight---
A front suspension that stops a 3000 lb car from some high speed down to a quick stop is similar to a rear end/drive train that has to launch that car at a drag strip??
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
