Ford Part # for Front Spindles.

[bkhicks66]

Talking with FFR this morning, they are still several weeks away from getting front spindles. They are offering to credit your account if you want to go out and purchase spindles.

Does anyone know the Ford Part Number of the spindles needed for a coupe?

Thanks for you help

That's odd, because the FFR spindles are proprietary to them. They designed them in house and have them produced by a casting/machining company for them. So they're not just a Ford part.

If you do use the SN95 spindles, like FFR used to do prior to creating their own, it changes the upper control arm angle, and requires a ball joint adapter I believe. Someone will be by soon to provide more info I'm sure. Personally, I'd wait it out and get the new FFR style spindles.

Unlike the Roadster the earlier Coupes the Gen3 chassis was designed around the proprietary FFR spindles from the outset and does not have an alternate UCA mounting point to better accommodate donor spindles. I've seen one built with Mustang spindles and the adapter...frankly the results ain't pretty and it creates some disastrous geometry with massive camber changes and bump steer issues.

Although it's undoubtedly frustrating I'm in the same camp as Logan and suggest you wait it out.

Good luck,
Jeff
