Type E EZ-Ride Complete front suspension. '55-'79 Price: 4350
|
We Have one of these built, available and just about ready to ship. We just need to know the desired bolt pattern, and then strap it to the pallet.
Another Type E suspension designed to eliminate the many issues when trying to modify 50+ year old vehicles to perform to today's standards. This front suspension was designed from the ground up to eliminate problems, provide superior ride, and braking with no compromises....all without having to modify original, hard-to-find, spindles or beams.
The complete rotor to rotor front suspension was designed to get rid of old out-dated king and link pins, and to eliminate the maintenance, alignment, and ride-quality issues that come with them. We also eliminated the cumbersome old-style pack-able, high-maintenance wheel bearings, seals, and lock nuts.
We have replaced ancient technology with modern tech. This front suspension now uses sealed, maintenance-free hub assemblies similar to every modern car and truck made. We have also swapped to better-riding ball joints for maintenance free, easy alignment, and simple design.
The disk brakes are huge 10.5" diameter, 1" thick vented rotors sourced from modern heavy American-made trucks. The calipers are same we use in our very successful EZ-Stop disk brake kits. By using these parts, we now have easy on-the-shelf parts store replacements if you should need one down the road, or if you need a replacement while on a road trip. No custom-machined rotors, or racecar calipers. Just good-working, easy-to-get, inexpensive parts.
The front hubs are available in 5x130, 5x4.75, and stock 5x205, and the brakes will fit under stock 15" split-bus wheels.
The spindles are made from laser-cut 3/4" plate steel. They have a 3.5" built-in drop, and the Ackerman angle has been corrected for use with the new narrowed beam. The steering arms have been positioned so the tie rods remain almost flat at ride height to eliminate bump steer. They use a standard eccentric top ball joint adjuster for simple, easy alignment.
The beam is 4" narrowed, adjustable, and built from DOM laser-cut steel tubing. There is caster added to the bottom tube to increase high-speed tracking. Ground clearance is also improved by raising the center steering pin.
With dual-pattern side plates, this system will fit both early Split window and Bay window buses. For Bay window owners, the benefits of this front suspension are even greater. The bottom tube has been moved up 1 3/8" more than a stock Bay beam for more ground clearance than a problematic beam raise. This is a great solution for lowered Bay window buses. No beam raise necessary.
This suspension comes fully painted with two-part urethane semi gloss black, and fully assembled. Because of this they need to be shipped truck freight.
There is a $400 core charge for the torsion arms and the center steering swing lever. These can be sourced off any bay window beam. The core charge will not be refunded until we receive arms that are in GOOD shape, and have been CLEANED!!!
We build these 2 at a time, and we usually try to stay ahead. They are typically about 1 month wait, but often times its less. Send a message for current lead times.
These also work very well with our bolt in EZ-IRS kit.
