AJE Racing front suspension kit in a 67 mustang


We will be installing AJE racing's tubular K-member, A-arm, Coil over kit front suspension on our 1967 turbocharged mustang. We will be able to notch out the shock towers, add rack and pinion, upgrade to cobra disc brakes, have a bolt in K-Member like the new mustangs, adjustable coil over struts and much more room in the engine bay for the existing turbo kit. ;D Great kit for racing or street use.

one last look before I start cutting it up



I ended up using a sawz-all and plasma cutter to get most of it out, I still need to fine trim up everything use the spot weld remover and the air hammer.

went ahead and made a template out of cardboard and used a paint pen to mark the towers

haha, no its not


here are some more pics

the stock upper spring plate holder needs to be removed for the new caster camber plates to able to be installed



using 14 g. sheet of material, made a template and cut out part of the plate using a plasma torch to overlay the tower.



welded the plate from the inside the tower under the fender


picture of the plates welded on


here is what the finished product will look like and the tower smoothed! :



next step is steering...

our 67 has a 1 piece steering shaft and box so we had to cut it.

Remove the stock crossmember and bolt up the k-member to the frame using the second hole in from the back to line up the k-member. we put in inserts into the frame so the frame doesn't bend when attaching the k-member in.

drill, insert, tack weld or weld.




assembly of the a arms, struts

tighten with a torque wrench to 65lbs and blue lock-tite

the strut retainer needs to be rounded off otherwiseh it will hit the inner side of the coil over and make a nocking noise


the aje kit laid out prior to install


k-member installed

bolted up to the inserts

new caster plates installed


installing the strut and installing the screw in clamp and coil springs


installing the pinto rack along with the clamp for the rack from aje



Since I went with the SN95 spindle assembly I put on the hub from a set of Cobra calipers and slot/ drilled rotors



if you do the front you might as well do the back right!


column modified


installing the D-shaft


had to go from a front sump to a Rear sump pan. We had to get a certain pick up tube to clear the stud girdle and nock a little dent in part of the stock 90's pan for it to clear along with weld in a bung for the oil drain from the turbo.


engine reinstall


header install... look at all that room. I could of installed the headers on the block then installed it but we didn't want to chip any of the paint.
