Leaf Springs:
Total Control leaf springs are manufactured from the finest alloy steel to provide the best possible performance for your Mustang. Our leaf springs are available in two modified-eye styles and three-separate spring configurations, providing lower-than-stock ride height, with three levels of ride quality and performance.

VariShock Bolt-Ins:
Repeatability is unprecedented! By controlling the quality of the components, assembling them in-house, and dyno-testing every assembly, TCP can deliver a pair of VariShocks that perform virtually identically throughout the entire range of travel. Whereas other brands in this price range rely on cheaper offshore or OEM parts, American-made VariShocks are engineered systems of premium components, all designed to meet your specific needs.

Leaf-Spring Bushings:
Total Control leaf-spring, polyurethane bushing sets provide a more stable interface between the leaf springs and the chassis. Poly material has a significantly higher durometer making it more difficult to compress, resulting in reduced deflection and better handling. The front set includes black poly bushings for leaf spring front eyes with sleeves and hardware. Rear shackle set contains black poly bushings for leaf spring rear eye and chassis mounts, heavy-duty shackle set, and Grade 8 hardware. Multiple tubes of Teflon impregnated assembly lube is also included with each set. Each set will fit 1964-1/2 to 1973 Mustangs and many other 60s and 70s classic Fords.

U-bolt Set (OPTIONAL):
Total Control's u-bolts are much stronger because they are manufactured from larger, 1/2 inch-diameter, alloy steel instead of stock 7/16 inch material. Gold irritated for durability and formed to fit 3 inch-diameter axle tubes. These u-bolts will fit with 4- through 5-leaf springs and axle housings, with 2-13/16 inch through 3inch-diameter axle tubes. Included are hardened alloy steel washers and Grade 8 nylon insert locknuts. The use of leaf-spring plates LSP-01 or LSP-02 is recommended. Stock plates will not accept our larger-diameter u-bolts.

Panhard Bar :
Our Panhard bar system for leaf-spring suspensions greatly improves vehicle handling response by providing superior control over the side-to-side movement of the rear-end housing. Installation and proper setup provide a noticeable change in vehicle handling with a more direct and connected feel during cornering. Minimizing the nervous tendencies of leaf spring suspensions with the TCP Panhard bar makes driving at near the vehicle?s performance limit much easier. The Panhard bar component is part of a fully-featured system with weld-on frame brackets integrating the anti-roll bar mounts, and bolt-on leaf spring plates with built-in shock mounts and tie-down loops.

Adjustable Geometry for Panhard Bar:
Multiple mounting holes for each end of the Panhard rod allows the system to be used at multiple ride heights and provides adjustment of the vehicle roll center. Altering the roll center affects the understeer and oversteer characteristics of the car and is a quick and easy method to achieve better handling performance.
