I never see the AMC Pacer front suspension mentioned? I really don't know why so many in the rodding community ignore this front end? It is a wide front suspension, so is better suited to a truck application. The complete front suspension drops out with the crossmember complete with rack and pinion steering, 11" disc brakes, and 1" sway bar. It is a heavy crossmember at that. Very strong compared to a mustang 2 sheet metal crossmember.

All parts for this front end are readily available. It runs ford calipers and 11" ford disc with 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

It has a good step down in the crossmember that is fairly easy to adapt to most frame rails so there is no need to cut off the front frame rails.

I have one setting in my shop now waiting for my next project. I've just not found what I am looking for yet. I have completely rebuilt it with new power rack, new calipers, new rotters, new bushings and ball joints and have less than $700.00 in it and paid $100.00 for the unit to begin with. So, why this front suspension is not used more, I really don't know. I'd really like to see those who poo poo it give me a reason, other than the fact their nose turns up in the wrong direction!!
