I used to work for F**D and I hated the way those cars steer. I can
get into a new taurus or an old pinto blindfolded and tell you its a
F**D by driving it a few yards...(My relatives have them) One reason
I would not put in a Must II front end is because of this
geometry...Someone would have to convince me by trial and error that
its correct not by numbers but by feel before I put one on my
oldtruck...I presently work on a GM stock car and do the handling set
up... With some adjustment I can make a car handle like a dream... If
I had my druthers I'd want something GM in my truck... Just something
to ponder before you put a lot of bucks into some retrofit piece of
garbage!(IMHO)
