Installation Tips

Cross Steering vs. Traditional Steering

Traditional steering provides an original, period look, but will only work in these applications:

Four bar setup with '68-'73 Mustang box
Split wishbone or hairpin radius rod with reversed Corvair or '48-'56 Ford Puckup steering box
Parallel Steering Set-Up Guide

Cross steering (using a Vega box) is the preferred method for nearly all cross spring, beam axle suspensions. Ford used this design from 1935-on.

Less bumpsteer
More comfortable steering column angle
Frees up foot pedal / bellhousing room
Cleaner vehicle profile
Cross Steering Guide

If you are building a hot rod just a little bit different than the next guy, you will probably need a special length tie rod or drag link sleeve. Sorry, no custom order chrome sleeves. Measurements are in assembled eye-to-eye lengths.

To order:

Use guide below to measure your finished length.
The part number and length you order will be 3" longer than the sleeve you receive. (I.E., if you order a 48" part number, you will receive a 45" long sleeve.) This is the difference in length required to give you the correct finished center-to-center measurement.
All sleeves will have internal RH thread in one end and LH thread in the other.

Application

Ford 1928-48 spindles are generally your best choice when using an original Ford axle or an aftermarket I-beam axle.
Chevy 1949-54 spindles are specifically designed for use on tube axles. A shorter, thicker axle stub makes this a slightly stronger spindle ideal for use with heavier street rods.

The flat steering arms do not fit correctly and if you use spacers rather than grinding the steering arm alot! The tie rod will be entirely too long. Best advice is for speedway to include a spacers and trim some off the tie rod.

I am building a open wheeled rat rod style truck with a Mopar big block 440 engine and 727 transmission and would like to use your front end kit Part # 91639520 and this brake kit. But my question is do you think that the ford spindles can handle the weight of the engine and trans or should I use the Chevy spindle kit. And if so do you offer a front axle kit similar to the one I mentioned above.
