DSE Lowering Hubpack Uprights - Forged Aluminum (030346DS) - 1979-1993 Ford Mustang / 1979-1986 Mercury Capri
Bring modern front suspension geometry, braking capability, and steering response to your Fox Body with the Detroit Speed Lowering Hubpack Uprights. Engineered for 1979-1993 Ford Mustang and 1979-1986 Mercury Capri applications, these forged aluminum uprights incorporate 2 inches of lowering directly into the design while improving suspension geometry for more confident cornering and a more aggressive stance. For street performance, autocross, or track-focused builds, this system addresses several key areas of the factory front suspension with one purpose-built upgrade.
The forged aluminum construction provides the strength and rigidity needed for demanding performance use, while the hubpack bearing design eliminates spindle pin flex for more consistent braking and steering control. Optimized Ackermann and bump steer geometry help reduce undesirable toe change and sharpen turn-in response. Brake mounting is designed around 2015-2024 S550 Mustang OE and aftermarket brake systems, opening the door to modern brake packages with a broad selection of pads and rotors.
