Anyone reading this thats on the fence, do it. I too put the bushed ones in first and im buying these now. My originals were clapped out and the new ones squeak NON STOP. Theyre not even uerethane, they stock replacement rubber, but ive heard the uerethane ones squeak also. Save yourself the hassle and buy the roller perches.
@@peterbroumaziotis5072 I've got the lower arm kit with the brace, screw in balljoint and spherical bearing on the pivot. I've also got the heim joint strut rods and Global West upper control arms. Shari and John are great people to deal with, they've got great gear at Opentracker.👍
@@Mr357Cleveland wow you've gone all out..I had already bought my upper and lower arms, otherwise I would've bought the lot for the front end.. but should still feel a difference I hope
@@scw1968 67-69 mustang. When I spoke to John the owner of opentracker, he told me he's dealt with Australian Falcons, and when I mentioned mine was a 71 XY, he told me yup same as 69 Mustang.
I bought these roller perches for my Ford Falcon's new uninstalled tubular a arms. Playing with these parts on the table I found out that the perches have a short side and a very slightly longer side that would catch on the a arm if put in wrong side out...so beware. Maybe this was the popping u heard?
Yes, they definitely have a correct orientation, but the popping on the old perches was definitely the poly bushings. The original rubber is much more compliant and would twist. The poly acts more like a bushing and the shaft rotates in them. The friction is just too much with the poly and they pop.

Thanks for the vid - adding these to my list of things to buy.
Also, love the accessory seat belt reminder light!
I've had these on my Australian Falcon for 10 years. Good gear.👍
What other products have you put on? I've done the idler arm and spring perches on my Xy, haven't driven it yet, I'm putting it back together

@@peterbroumaziotis5072 @Mr357Cleveland what model Mustang is equivalent to an Aussie XY in terms of these suspension parts?

Very helpful video. What fuel pressure gauge did you use?
Thanks for the review at the end.
It’s been three years now. How are they holding up?

Did you notice any harshness and or additional road noise coming with the steel bearings compared to the rubber/ urethane bushings.
Nope. No difference. Just smoother.
@@mechtrician1 Were the old ones you replaced the Scott Drake synthetic version?
No. Originals that I installed urethane bushings in.
nice car very clean

They work well.
You need a V-8.
I already have one of those.
I like the way this little six runs too. Gets awesome mileage.
