Mounting a Quick performance 9" Ford rear on 87 Camaro

The mounting for the control arms on the axle has 4 hole , 4 mounting points, which one do I use for a stock configuration and what are the 4 different mountings for.


The axle is upside down/

Re: Mounting a Quick performance 9" Ford rear on 87 Camaro

Those are like LCA relocation brackets that you could apply to a stock rear.

Best place to start is, where the rear end of the LCAs is JUST SLIGHTLY below the front (chassis) end. Something in the range of ½ to ¾" would be a great start point.

What you'll find is, if the rear (axle) bolt is too high, the car will wheel-hop ruthlessly, like stock, under acceleration. When the bolt is too low, it will hook up like pulling your teeth out under acceleration, but will wheel-hop unbelievably under braking (an OBVIOUS safety / life preservation malfunction). Ideal is where both are smooth and quiet, and present no problems.

I'm guessing you got a 9" because you got the power to use it (and broke your stock diff)

Most times you'll need to be in the lowest hole, if you got good tires

450+- and up to 250 shot . So after I hook up the shocks ,track bar,torque arm, stabilizer bar, with all that connected, can I change the mounting point of the LCA on the relocation bracket

yeah you can change it with everything else connected. I would do one side at a time though so the rear doesnt move too much on you.
