Fox Mustang Independent Rear Suspension Install



Irs Fox Body Mustang Test Fit Irs Fox Body Mustang Braided Brake Hose Kit
While installing a braided-brake-hose kit, Brian found a creative method for keeping it out of the way of moving parts. Drilling a 11/48-inch hole in an untapped boss on the rear knuckle enabled a rubber-insulated clamp to be screwed in place as seen here.		 Irs Fox Body Mustang Zip Tie The Parking Brake
The lower-control-arm instructions direct the installer to zip-tie the parking-brake cable to the control arm, but Brian opted for more rubber insulated clamps, obviously of differing sizes.
Irs Fox Body Mustang Parking Brake Irs Fox Body Mustang Driveshaft Bolts Right Into Place
Here's why the '03-'04 companion flange was swapped for the earlier version-the existing FRPP aluminum driveshaft bolts right into place.		 Irs Fox Body Mustang Exhaust
Next up is the exhaust, where Brian will use a lightly modified factory '03 Cobra system for now. You can see the need for shortening the flow tubes, which will be the most laborious of the necessary tweaks. Likewise, it would seem that any after-cat system designed for an IRS Cobra would need similar work if being installed in a Fox.
