This is going to be a must and it's not priced as bad as I thought it might be.

@BMRSuspensioninc 8 лет назад

This is a great installation guide! Thanks guys!

@williebosman8056 9 месяцев назад

Nice installation sure solved some ideas in my head

@rafaelk263 4 года назад

Cool vídeos. If only you got rid of the crap metal track...

@astrogen1960 8 лет назад

Really good job on the installation. I'm wondering if something like Loctite Threadlocker should have been added to the threads first, given the vibration and movement of the unit.

@Zerogivengarage 8 лет назад

+astrogen1960 Almost all of the nuts had nylon inserts so I don't think there will be an issues.

@astrogen1960 8 лет назад

Thanks' Bill!

@Neonrt131 2 года назад

installed today , i would add that make sure the rods are pointed in correct direction prior to installing, lower to passenger side top of propeller to drivers side becomes self evident when you mess this up like i did, also drivers side rod and bracket end did not sit parallel to axle bracket and when tightened down was distorting the poly bushing, still trying to determine why

Excellent video! Very informative.

Thank you!

@Nowayjose-z2r 4 года назад

All good stuff till the bolts were torqued by the head. Generally always torque by the nut unless specified.

@mooosestang Год назад

seems overly complicated compared to the whiteline watts link.

omG solid axel on mustang from 2000's.

@2010ChallySRT8 6 лет назад

This vs. Whiteline?

@RKLS111 18 дней назад

im installing one on my 2014 GT. in your video the sway bar is behind the main bracket. mine is rubbing directly under the bracket with zero clearance. does fitment differ from gt500 to gt? im on stock sway bar. it looks like the GT500 had stock sway bar as well.

@XenoSeven86 3 года назад

So when you set to 90* it doesn’t have to be at ride hight?

@abad95. 2 года назад

Amazing

@cadpigIover 3 года назад

is this better than the other Watts link that replaces the dif. cover? this one seems easier but how does the performance change?

@javierpalomares1774 6 месяцев назад

Does the link get in the way of the axle cover removal?

@Iraqitammar 7 лет назад

Bill this question is specifically for you. Would you go for watts or adjustable panhard bar if you were looking for the best performance? I'm a daily driver and sometimes I drag my gt with some friends for fun.

@billymanilli 11 месяцев назад

6 years later but what the heck... adj panhard is WAAY easier and cheaper to install (and adjust, especially if you get one that doesn't need removal of one end to do)... For what you're describing doing with the car, I don't think you'd even know the difference between the two in handling. Panhard really doesn't arc too far as it's pretty long, and if you have stiff suspension tit won't travel a whole lot either. The issue gets worse more towards the ends of travel (when the bar isn't parallel to the ground). Just my 2 c

@paulandmegian9139 Год назад

why does shelby wheel company say 2005-2014 might need a watts link to run their 19x11 wheel? just because the axle moves over a little on bumps? Note: 19 x 11 wheel designed for rear application and may requirer a Watts Link for 2005-2014 Mustang Note: Purchase of aftermarket lug nuts required. The stock lug nuts will not work.

@heith85 8 лет назад

looks like a decent product for a decent price. now if only my 93 rx7 suspension parts were of the same quality and price #domestic envy

@sn957 8 лет назад

Excellent quality video and product, Question Bill, Does BMR make a watts link kit for SN-95 stangs?

@billymanilli 11 месяцев назад

I come for the music! 🤭

@brosec5840 5 лет назад

I have a question, how much clearance do you have from the rear cover? I have seen them hit the cover and damage them.

@cjponyparts 5 лет назад

No issues at all, it it is still on the car.

@F-U-CKYTCensorship 10 месяцев назад

I currently have the same finned gt500 diff cover as shown on this project car.. I’m looking at upgrading to the ford racing diff cover which is considerably a bit larger. Also gonna be very hard to squeeze a giant watts link in behind by the looks of it.. I’d go with the shelby unit, the blue matches the rest of my upgrades.

@MarcusK408 8 лет назад

I have this Watts link and I question the design decision of putting the grease fitting where it is in the center pivot shown at 11:36. You CAN NOT grease the center pivot once it's mounted. The instructions tell you to grease again after a few hundred miles and then after every other oil change. There is no way to get a grease gun on the zerk fitting with the center pivot installed because the reinforcement bracket is in the way. You'd have to remove the center pivot to grease it. What a pain!

@MichaelSaull 8 лет назад

+MarcusK408 Can't you just take the two enlinks off rotate the center then grease it like they did? Sure its probably an extra ten minutes to have to remove and reinstall those but I don't think you have to remove the whole thing.

@MarcusK408 6 лет назад

I found a way to grease the zerk fitting in the center pivot. I bought a grease coupler fitting and shaved down one side so it fits up into the center pivot to attach to the zerk fitting. Worked like a charm. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G76OMA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@ryanstanland 3 года назад

How much difference did the watts link make in daily and spirited street driving?

@davidlowley7440 2 года назад

Would these work with meaty slicks and still have clearance

@vinniecatullo6037 4 года назад

i would love to get this but how much is all that and how can i get it for my 2013 shelby gt500?

@vinniecatullo6037 4 года назад

lol i would love to know that for my 2013 Shelby i have seen some that go in front as well if you have this car you will understand that you do need something to help you hook up i did put 305 in the rear but not cutting the mustard

@ahmeda3227 8 лет назад

How well would the car behave on rough PA roads compared to the traditional PHB/ Support brace?

@UneroGT500 Год назад

Does this replace the UCA?

@christianbiesbrouck1290 8 лет назад

music drives me nuts.

@dylanstaley1108 Год назад

Will this be compatible with BMR Anti-roll bar kit?

@AutoYoung 8 лет назад

Being that this car has air suspension what effect would that have on the Watts Link at different drive able height increments?

@Zerogivengarage 8 лет назад

+Auto Young The Watts Link would be setup at your driving height which we did here. Since it moves with the rear it will still work at different heights, just not as well. We can put this car all the way down and it barely touches the exhaust.

@josephsanchez824 5 лет назад

I spoke with bmr before i ordered mine and was told it would move with the the air ride better than a panhard bar that moves your axle putting air ride on tonight watts link is on the way

@ktmfour1007 4 года назад

How heavy is the kit

@mmike76 7 лет назад

Don't you think that if watts link was better and easier to adjust, NASCAR would be using it. they use a panhard bar. With panhard you can get the roll center lower- Mayer racing has a great video on the subject

@Reecesavage-Alwayswin 6 лет назад

Michael Hoffman it depends on what type of driving you are doing.

@mmike76 6 лет назад

If you decide to use the watts link, its "best" to have roll control center link directly bolted to the back of the third member. KISS and less moving parts with easier adjust ability I would stick with the panhard bar. I don't have a horse in the race just sharing what "I know". Enjoy the drive.

@Reecesavage-Alwayswin 6 лет назад

Michael Hoffman I can tell you are not into road racing. I've had this mod for 2 years now and it's about as close as the s197 will get to IRS.

@mmike76 6 лет назад

Incorrect on both assumptions. been driving A/C Cobra and GT 350 from about 1968. I use to think IRS was by "far" the only way to go. Had the Fays2 Watts link in my 1964 fairlane. Been there done that. Now the 60's classic's are pushing 6-700 hp the toe out on acceleration gets crazy scary with IRS unless your purpose engineered and built and light like F1. Refer to IRS vs live axle Willow Springs GT 350. yeah I know that it is not the whole story but its a start to begin asking questions. center steer (truck arm) with a panhard like NASCAR is by far the best bang for the buck if you want to stop fast and go fast. Again- I ain't sellin" anything.
