Model A 4-Bar I-Beam Axle Kit for Ford Spindles, Chrome

This is a complete Model A front suspension kit built around a 48-inch, 4-inch-drop chrome I-beam axle and a urethane-bushed 4-bar setup, designed to run on '37-'48 Ford passenger car spindles rather than original Model A spindles.

What it is for

The kit centers on a 48-inch kingpin-to-kingpin I-beam axle with a 4-inch drop. Also included:

• A 21-inch 4-bar assembly with urethane bushings
• Forged-steel perch bolts and forged-steel, key-slotted lower shock mounts
• Spring shackles fitted with nylon bushings
• A 4-leaf Super Glide cross spring measuring 31-1/4 inches from eye to eye
• All hardware needed for assembly

The axle itself has a chrome finish.

What to check before buying

This kit requires '37-'48 Ford passenger car spindles, which are not included, so confirm you have or can source a compatible set before ordering, since the kit does not include spindles or steering components, and welding is required for installation. A front panhard bar is strongly recommended with any 4-bar front suspension, since 4-bar setups increase suspension travel and side-to-side axle movement compared with original wishbones or radius rods; if you run a Vega cross-steering system, a panhard bar becomes necessary to avoid bump steer.
