The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Mustang 11 upgrade

Have had new stainless steel upper and lower control arms supplied by TCI on the bench for quite a while. Decided to install the arms after getting dropped stubs from speedway motors. The install went OK with assistance from my older son Rhys. However the last item to be installed was the TCI sway bay. This did not fit as it is too wide for the mounts supplied. In changing the arms from painted to stainless it reduced my wheel track by 1 inch either side. No mention of any issues with this upgrade on their web site. I have sent photos over to TCI and the response was to shorten and retap the bar to suit the mounts. So if you are looking to use a TCI mustang 11 with polished control arms DO NOT buy a swaybar because guess what IT NO FIT. Emailed TCI with a string of questions and no response. I suggested they set a mustang 11 up on the bench and see that they supply parts that do not fit > no response. I read lower down in another post there are questions about suppliers of front end kits in regard to TCI they are off my xmas card list
End result
TCI does not supply a sway bar to fit their front end with their control arms without the purchaser doing major changes. After spending $$ with this firm it ain't good enough
Buyer beware

Ive a TCI frontend under my 55 2nd series.I only had one question,but it was resolved with an Email to customer service.Funny how some people have problems with certain companies,and others have none.

I had problems with TCI also. The rear 4 link was a bear to get finished. It shouldn't have been, but the track bar was the wrong length. Sent it back, they cut it , again wrong length, I gave them very accurate measurements. They gave me a hassle when I called after the second cut. It must have taken 2 months to get the part back the second time. I finally took it to a local machine shop cut and re threaded it. Would never buy anything from them again. Very rude on the phone, said I was installing it wrong. Believe me, this was the second 4 link that I had installed in a vehicle, I knew what I was doing, they didn't
