1964-73 Ford Mustang Suspension Parts
Few cars invite as many different suspension philosophies as the early Mustang. One owner may want to sharpen the familiar factory layout, another may be setting up the car for harder launches, and a third may be ready to replace major pieces of the original front or rear suspension. POL supports those very different builds with suspension systems and components for 1964-73 Mustang applications.
Mustang Suspension for Street, Drag, and IFS Builds
A Mustang set up for street driving, hard launches, or a complete front-end transformation does not need the same suspension. This collection is naturally separated by what the car is being built to do.
Street-focused builds can stay close to the original architecture with Stage 2 suspension or move to front coilovers for added ride height and damping adjustment. Drag-oriented cars take another route, with Drag Pac packages and traction bars designed around controlling the rear axle under acceleration.
Heidts systems represent the most extensive change. Mustang II-style IFS and Pro-G packages replace far more of the original front suspension, with dedicated spindles, sway bars, and engine-mount hardware supporting that new layout.
At the rear, builders can either keep leaf springs and add traction hardware or move to a 4-link system. Strut-rod bushings, sway bars, and other individual components cover the smaller changes between those larger build directions.
FAQ
What suspension parts are available for 1964-73 Ford Mustangs?
The live collection displays 30 products, including Stage 2 and Drag Pac suspension packages, front coilovers, Heidts IFS and Pro-G systems, a rear 4-link, traction bars, shocks, sway bar components, strut-rod bushings, IFS brackets, and related parts. Several unrelated products are also currently mixed into the grid.
Can I convert a classic Mustang to coilovers?
Yes. POL currently lists a front coilover conversion for 1964-73 Ford Mustangs. More comprehensive suspension systems are also available for owners who want to change more than the spring and shock arrangement.
Is Mustang II independent front suspension available for a 1964-70 Mustang?
Yes. The collection contains a Heidts Mustang II-type IFS kit for 1964-70 Mustangs. Related products include IFS motor-mount brackets, a Mustang II front sway bar, and stock-height Mustang II spindles.
Can a 1964-70 Mustang be converted to 4-link rear suspension?
Yes. POL lists a dedicated 1964-70 Mustang 4-link suspension kit. This represents a different rear suspension direction from the traction bar products, which are intended for cars retaining a compatible leaf-spring arrangement.
Are traction bars available for stock-height and lowered Mustangs?
Yes. POL lists 1964-73 Mustang traction bar kits for dropped configurations and for cars using an 8-inch housing, including both stock and dropped versions. Match the system to the ride height and rear axle configuration stated in the product listing.
Are suspension parts the same for every 1964-73 Mustang?
No. Individual products have narrower year ranges. The Stage 2 kit and major Heidts systems shown here primarily cover 1964-70 cars, the strut-rod bushings are split into 1964-66 and 1967-73 groups, and the rear sway bar is specifically listed for 1971-73 Mustangs.
What shocks are available for classic Mustangs?
POL has a separate 17-product 1964-73 Mustang shock collection. It includes Bilstein Street, Sport, and Race valve front shocks, Bilstein rear shocks, KYB Gas-A-Just shocks, 3-way adjustable shocks, Calvert front and rear shocks, and other application-specific choices.
