Restore and strengthen your early Ford XK or XL Falcon’s front suspension with the Strut Bar Rod Bush Kit, designed as a superior upgrade to the original lightweight USA-designed components. Early XK models, produced prior to chassis # 4R 1-62 66654 (Broadmeadows) or 4B 1-62 34 (Brisbane), originally featured 9/16” or 5/8” shaft diameters that were prone to premature failure. This kit replaces those fragile parts with robust 11/16” shaft diameter bushes and sleeves, matching the later XK and XL strut bar upgrade (C2DA 3468A), providing enhanced durability and suspension control.
Key Features:
Oversized Upgrade: Features 11/16" shaft diameter bushes and sleeves to accommodate the enlarged subframe holes retrofitted with the later model’s C2DA 3468A strut bars, delivering a stronger and more reliable suspension mounting.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from premium-quality materials engineered to withstand vehicle stresses, reduce suspension flex, and enhance longevity compared to the original parts.
Threaded & Adjustable Fitment: Early Falcon strut bars are threaded and allow for suspension tuning adjustments, unlike the fixed-diameter struts used in XM through XP models.
Restores Suspension Integrity: Mitigates wear and failure risks associated with original smaller diameter shafts, promoting enhanced control, stability, and ride quality.
Perfect for Falcon fans seeking an OEM-compatible, performance-oriented suspension upgrade, the Strut Bar Rod Bush Kit delivers the strength, adjustability, and reliability that early models require for optimal handling and roadworthiness.
