1967 Convertible stock ride height
« on: June 29, 2024, 12:29:15 PM »
Hello
I am ordering new Eaton springs for my 1967 Base mustang convertible with Power steering as the only option. The car was built in the San Jose factory in 4/67.
I would like to level the car and was wondering if anyone knows the original factory ride height front and rear?

Thanks
Bob

Bob you might want to try the Shop Manual. Not sure if its there but think it is your best shot. If I recall correctly when I researched the subject for other years I came up short in finding the measurements for 67 Mustang. If I recall correctly did find 67 Cougar and those (for the front suspension at least) measured from the upper A arm to the movement stop bumper just above the A arm

I think you are correct it is in the chassis assembly manual.

I think you are correct it is in the chassis assembly manual.
Page 13, Mustang and Cougar (Ref AM0020). It lists "Standard" and "GT & Imp HDLG Package". The measurements are from the ground to the lower edge of the wheel well with a lot (yes it is TWO words) of "caveats" and instructions (like a full tank of gas).

I promise to be politically correct in all my posts to keep the BBBB from vociferating.
