Bolt-In Strut Conversions

Here at Fatman Fabrications, our Bolt-In Strut Conversion packages are now available for several Ford/Mercury cars. 

​

Years Of Engineering and Development

Fatman Fabrications has designed a complete Bolt-In kit for Ford/Mercury cars.

​

Look What We Cover

When it comes to unibody Ford/Mercury cars, we have you covered for the following:

• 1963–1965 Mercury Comet

• 1967–1970 Mercury Cougar

• 1963–1965 Ford Falcon

• 1962–1971 Ford Fairlane

• 1968–1971 Ford Torino

• 1970-1977 Ford Maverick

• 1964 ½–1973 Ford Mustang

​

When We Say Bolt-In, We Mean It

This suspension bolts into your stock unibody sheet metal structure with a minimum of fuss!

​

Clearance and More Space

Since an upper control arm is no longer needed, the shock towers can be trimmed for improved header clearance giving you more space under the hood. 

​

Geometry and Handling

This kit is designed to use your stock 8 1/2” long front sump oil pan, stock exhaust manifolds, or short/block-hugger headers and the stock front sway bar mounts right up! Better geometry, so it handles great without a monster ride-killing sway bar!

​

No Trimming Needed

This kit allows for a bolt-in installation with no sheet metal trimming required that way the car can be returned to the factory suspension later. It uses the unibody structure just as Ford designed it; with the suspension forces and weight being carried from the shock tower through the braces and into the firewall.

​
