Thread: Mustang II rack & pinion POS

Tweet

I would use a Dakota clip or s-10 . My M Ii is getting a lot better the more I screw with it but I think S-10s and Dakotas drive nicer and are less noisy when hitting bumps. The next thing I'm going to do with it is replace the m2 springs with some coil over shocks to hopefully get rid of some of the spring noise when I hit bumps and get a softer ride. Maybe I'm just bitter but I'll never put another one in again. The guy who was mentoring me while I was putting this thing together convinced me to go with a mustang 2 suspension versus a frame swap. Now he's doing a frame swap on one.

That’s what I was thinking, just buy a 1st generation Dakota and swap the frame clip and the rear end. That will upgrade steering and brakes. The old flathead runs so good I’m going to keep it.
