DSE Caster Camber Kit (1979 - 1989 Ford Mustang / 1979 - 1986 Mercury Capri) 030342DS
Take precise control of your Fox Body front-end alignment with the Detroit Speed Caster Camber Kit 030342DS. Factory alignment adjustment can limit what you can do with a lowered or performance-focused suspension, but this kit gives you independent control of caster and camber with greater adjustment range than stock. Whether your build is aimed at the street, drag strip, autocross, or road course, the added tuning range lets you dial in suspension geometry for sharper response, improved stability, and better tire wear.
At the heart of the 030342DS kit is Detroit Speed's Speed-LIGN technology, which provides precise, repeatable adjustments in 1/16-inch increments while preventing unwanted movement after the alignment is set. An aircraft-grade monoball creates a rigid yet smoothly articulating connection for the strut shaft, while the anodized aluminum adjuster plate is designed to eliminate deflection under load. The entire system is 100 percent bolt-on with the necessary mounting hardware included, is engineered and manufactured in Mooresville, North Carolina, and is backed by Detroit Speed's two-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
