will 67 mustang strut rods fit in a 65 mustang
 

Well my car is lowered quite a bit also shelby uca drop and i had problems with the front tires hitting the fenders even with the fenders rolled their close and will touch. So i got the ron morris lower control arm adjusting kit. I welded them in and looks like they will work great. But i found out the 65 mustang has non adj. strut rods so they will most likely need to add spacers on the upper control arms to adjust the caster. I really dont want any spacers in the uca to bring the tires in as far as possible. I know im going to need some spacers in the upper control are due to i have the lock blocks for the lower control arms, just dont want to have them add more to get my caster adj. I was reading and found on the net that a guy used 67 mustang strut rods on a 65. I know they make aftermarket strut rods but $250 no thanks dont really have that kind of extra money. I also know i could make a set but dont really have all that much time either and in the end would be better off buying a set.

So does anyone know if you can in fact use 67 strut rods on a 65 mustang?

No.

You can buy greatly improved from stock adjustable arms for the 65 from here:

Which you don't want to pay for. I also believe you can get plans from dazecars.com on how to build your own.

Dang should of known better then to mess with my only running and driving classic car.

Anyone have a rough est how many shims it take to get the caster in specs? If its less then 1/4 in typicality i might be fine as i pulled about 1 in of shims out.

This is where i got the original idea that 67 might work in 65 its post 19

The 67 ones look the same are they longer?

The mounting fixtures (aka bolt holes) are different between my 65 and my 67

I couldn't take my 65 adjustable rod of the car and bolt it onto my 67 or visa versa because of it.

alright i guess im just going to do what needs to be done and get a set of adj ones.

Im looking at the ones from http://www.rosehillperformanceparts.com. As they have a good price. Anyone else have a set that they like i do want to stay under $300.

It can be be done and has been done by a fella named Walt Hane just outside of Denver for many many years with excellent results. Here is a link http://www.eps-hane.com/techtips4.html He has been modifying and racing mustangs longer than most of us have been alive. It is actually a pretty trick set up.
