Just curious, but what's the reason for substituting an automobile independent suspension for the stock independent suspension? I could see swapping it for an old style straight axle, but I must be missing something. There are performmance upgrades one can make if the present suspension has shortcomings such as urethane bushings, different springs, shocks, sway bars, brakes, etc. I say this because over the years a number of people have replaced Studebaker car independent front suspensions with 2nd generation Mustang rack and pinion suspension. In most cases they had bragging rights about all the time and money they had spent, but that was just about it. In most cases the Ford suspension performed worse than the stock Stude. The alternative that was less expensive and performed better was to replace the old sagging springs with new ones, new shocks, bushings and a heavier sway bar.
