MII frontends
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Nov-02 AT 07:54 AM (EST)]I don't remember who makes the lower control arms that eliminate the strut rods or who sells them, but I have seen the ads. I don't think it was Heidt's, but I'm not sure. Look through the ads in most any Street Rod magazine like Street Rodder, Rod and Custom, etc., and you will find the advertisement. This biggest difference between Heidt's and Fatman is the price.

MII frontends
George,
my buddy Charles found me a complete MII front end for $200 at his Mustang salvage yard in Pensacola...so they can be found reasonably.
The strut rod is used to absorb the braking forces applied to the lower control arm when you apply the brakes. It's really a movable brace for the lower control arm. There are some problems in certain positions in the suspension movement where the strut rod gets in a bind. The tubular (strutless) control arms were a way to avoid this and also to clean up the appearance of the orig MII front suspension setup..
I' out of town this weekend in Mobile, but when I return, I'll post the part mfgs and numbers
