I'm hoping that someone can confirm for me that the first two pics here are sway bar mounts..
REAR (IMG:http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d182/PunchBug71/rear_shock_mount.jpg) FRONT (IMG:http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d182/PunchBug71/front_suspension.jpg) But is this just some custom brace or has anyone seen one before? (IMG:http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d182/PunchBug71/sail_panel_brace.jpg) I've been having fun playing with my new car. I picked up the car last Monday. I got the motor and trans out two nights ago and started cleaning up the engine bay and underneath. I have a 1971 914...did they all come with 4 wheel disc brakes? Thanks, |

Those are sway bar mounting points (actually the drop links points)
All of them came with 4 wheel disc brakes.. and yes Mustangs up until 1995 or so had drum rears..LOL B |

as said
1) rear sway bar drop link pickup point. shock bolt nipple. 2) front U tab for swaybar droplink 3) DAPO add on. lets comment on number 1... you are missing some spacers/bushings etc or that bolt isnt even close to tight. the shock should have pieces centering it between the end and the control arm |

Nah, Aaron, all KYBs are like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) You can see the white small diameter tube that centers the shock.
