DISC BRAKES
 
I INSTALLED GRANADA DISC BRAKES ON A 63 V8
THE STEERING ARMS ON THE GRANADA SPINDLE HAVE A DIFFERENT ANGLE THAN THE STOCK SPINDLE
EVERYTHING WENT ON OKAY BUT THE TIE ROD ENDS HAVE A SLIGHT UPWARD ANGLE. ANYBODY ELSE RUN INTO THIS?

I'll check with Greg Peters, he installed the same brakes on his Comet. I know he had a tech tip written on the subject. Allen

Forever a Ford lover.

I guess being clueless can have it's advantages. I just went ahead and installed them, as per my tech article of 2000. I am with the assumption that as long as the tie rod angle is close to the angle of the lower control arm (keeping angles similar), you should be in the ballpark. I must be lucky, because my Comet handles beautifully. Even at over 100 mph at the dragstrip, it handles great. I also use radial ply tires in the front, and bias ply M/T Sportsman Pros in the rear, and it's cool. Greg Peters, Poppajeep's Journey Street Rods, It's not the destination, it's the journey!
