Classic Ford Mustang 3-Link Rear Suspension Installation - The Buck Stops Here

The rear trailing arms are held in position during installation. The bushings on the trailing arms are lubricated prior to installation. To fit the front of the arm, you may need to use a prybar to slightly spread apart the factory spring mounting.

The forward fastener is tightened in the same manner as the stock spring. Don't overtighten the bolts or you'll distort the factory spring-mounting ears.

Now that the axlehousing is in the car, the centersection can be installed. It's a heavy assembly, so an extra set of hands is helpful.

The torque arm is installed over the differential's studs.

The front end of the arm attaches to the front crossmember, as shown here. It is lubricated even though the pivot amount is less than 1 degree of movement.

The torque arm looks like this once all of the fasteners are installed. Each stud gets a coating of sealant to prevent fluid leaks past the studs. The completed Revelation Racing Supply 3-Link rear suspension is ready to go and looks like it will offer excellent performance once the car is on the road.

Helping It Fit
Many high-performance Mustang enthusiasts are interested in larger wheels and tires for their cars. This is especially true of road-racing vehicles, as the larger contact patch offers better adhesion in corners. Revelation Racing Supply's 3-Link rear suspension allows you to run the maximum size tire your wheelhouse will accommodate because there is no guesswork about where the wheel and tire assembly will go once the car is in motion. Because the axle is so precisely controlled and located, there's no worry about fore and aft or sideways movement allowing contact with the wheelhouse or fender. Because of the torque arm, wheelhop is also eliminated. With all axle motion variables eliminated, the guesswork is gone as well.
