Austin, TX – Our 1993 Mustang project has had a recent increase in the horsepower department with the addition of a Vortech S-trim supercharger system. But the suspension has remained stock with maybe the exception of replacement shocks and struts. That means those old rubber bushings are pushing 20 years old now and if it was not for the relatively low miles of our project car there probably would not be any bushings left.
So we started with a call the Dave Zimmerman, the head honcho at Team Z Motorsports to see about some killer suspension upgrades. Dave has built cars for and helped racers such as Trace Meyer, Chris Tuten and Brad Edwards, not to mention his parts are installed from the factory on Ford’s Cobra Jet Mustangs. So Dave spec’d out the parts we needed for the front and rear suspension upgrades and got them shipped in no time.
For the rear we start with the Team Z solid spherical bushings to replace the worn out rubber bushings in the rear end housing. These bushings are CNC machined from high strength aluminum with quality bearings and they are designed to free up the suspension from binding.
