Irs Fox Body Mustang Forward Torque Brace
To secure the front side of the carrier, Kenny Brown's forward torque brace was used in conjunction with the company's aluminum mount bushings. Together, these items are billed to reduce carrier deflection and bushing windup, resulting in reduced wheelhop and improved feel. Putting together the entire assembly requires you to hold your jaw just right, but it generally goes together in a straightforward manner.

Irs Fox Body Mustang Upper Control Arm Mount

Irs Fox Body Mustang Adjustable Inner Tie Rod
An adjustable inner tie-rod kit finishes the IRS assembly before it goes into the car, which Kenny Brown says helps diminish the factory IRS's excessive rear-steer characteristics-much akin to bumpsteer in a front suspension. Begin by measuring the length of the current tie-rod assembly. While you'll need a rear alignment upon completion, mimicking the stock measurement in the new parts gets you in the ballpark.
