Front Suspension - Enclosed Spring: Description

The front suspension is a ball joint type with a coil spring located between the upper and lower control arms. The upper control arm pivots on bushings located on a shaft assembly which is bolted to the frame. The lower arm pivots on a bolt attached to the number 2 crossmember. This suspension is similar to the spring tower suspension used on other models except for the location of the coil spring. On the spring tower models the spring is located above the upper control arm. See Ford Motor Co., Spring Tower in this Section.
