Attach lower A-arm to frame with 5/8"x13" bolt, washers,and nut. Note: Be sure to insert washers in between the frame and urethane bushings to avoid damage. Note: Be sure A-arm angles to rear of car to be sure you have the correct side.

Attach the upper A-arm to the frame with two 1/2"x2 3/4" bolts,nuts,and washers. Place shims in between the frame and A-arms to set camber and caster. Be sure to put the roughed side of cross shaft pointed outwards against the shims.

Attach the spindle to upper and lower A-arms.

Attach the top of the coil over shock to the frame with 1/2"x3" bolt, washer,and nut. Attach the bottom of the shock to the lower A-arm with 1/2"x9" brass bolt, washer and nut. Note: Some builders prefer to mount the shock before the spindle, it makes it a little easier to keep everything in place.

Attach the rack and pinion to frame using rubber bushing and 5/8"x7 1/2" bolts supplied with rack. Attach the tie rod ends to end of rack.

Make sure the rubber boot is on the tie rod end. Place the tie rod end through the spindle and fasten it with the castle nut. Be sure to install the cotter pin and grease zerk.

Now we move to the rear suspension. Lift rear end with a engine hoist,or jack, and connect the long lower radius rods to the frame using a 5/8"x5" bolt and to the rear end using a 5/8"x3 1/2" bolt.

Move the rear end into position and attach the shorter upper radius rods to the frame mount and to the upper brackets on the rear end using 5/8"x3 1/2" bolts.

Lastly, attach the top of the rear shock to the frame with a 5/8"x3 1/2" bolt. Attach the bottom of the rear shock to the rear end with 5/8"x4" bolt.

Here is an overview of what the rear suspension will look like when finished. Note: Spacing with washers may be necessary to center the rear end. There should ALWAYS be at least 1 washer on each side of the urethane bushings on the 4-link suspension and coilover shocks. Tighten all bolts until snug,then back off approximately 1/4 turn. Having the bolts too tight on the rear end and coilover shocks will not allow the suspension to travel properly.

After packing the wheel bearings and installing the front rotors the front brakes can be installed. Shell Valley uses a GM intermediate caliper for our 11" disc brake rotors. This requires the use of the granada adapter, shown here, to pair the GM calipers with the Mustang II spindles.

Attach the granada adapter to the spindle as shown to the left. Using 1/2"x2" on the top and 7/16"x1 1/2" on the side using the spacer provided.

Attach the brake caliper to the adapter using the 2 caliper bolts provided.

Attach one end of brake hose to caliper with the provided banjo fitting. Secure the opposite end of the hose to the bracket on the frame with the brake hose clip provided.

On the rear disc brakes you have two options, the Ford Motorsport package, or the Cadillac caliper package. First we will cover the Ford package. The first step to installing the Ford brakes is making sure that the extra spacer shown to the left is installed on your axle. Failure to install spacer could cause bearing damage.

Bolt the backing plate to the rear end. The unit contains the drum style parking brake system found on the Ford Motorsport brakes. Lube and install the axle. Once the axle is installed try to turn it by hand. If it will not turn,and the rear end seems to be bound up,remove the axle and cut 3/16" off the end of the axle. Reinstall the axle and try to turn it again.

Install the rotor on the axle. Bolt the caliper to the backing unit and attach the brake hose to the caliper.

The Cadillac rear brakes are mounted with an assembly that includes two brackets,two 9/16" x 1 1/2" bolts with lock nuts,two spacers and two 9/16" axle retaining flange bolts.

First position the rear end bracket in between the axle retaining flange and the rear end. The two axle retaining flange bolts go through the flange, bracket, and rear end housing. The caliper bracket is then mounted to the rear end bracket with two 9/16"x1 1/2" bolts with lock nuts. Place the two spacers between the two brackets.

Now you can install the rotor. Mount the caliper to the bracket assembly using the two caliper bolts provided.
