Factory Five Racing Mk3 Roadster Assembly Manual page 45

Note:
The front lower control arm bolts may need to be trimed or use a washer under the head for the
front bolts due to the manufacturing process of the bolt.
8. While holding the arm parallel to the ground, torque the bolts to 135-149Nm (100-110 lbft).
9. Attach the spindle assembly to the lower control arm on the frame. Removal of the brake caliper and
disc along with the brake shield may be necessary. Use the Mustang crown nut and Torque specs
106-149Nm (80-110 lbft).
10. The upper ball joint boot will look crushed and out of shape when the car is in the air, this is OK. The
boot will seat when the car is on the ground. It is only a dust boot and the grease will not leak.
TOOLS: Snap ring pliers, ¾" wrench, ¾" socket, ratchet.
ATTENTION: The front shocks are pre-valved at the factory in compression and rebound for good
street use. The shocks can be adjusted in rebound as per Koni's instructions if so desired. The
front springs are 500lb. Other springs are available for different ride characteristics.
Note: Retro-fit coil-over kits work with all FFR Coupe, and Roadster kits using the new Factory
Five front lower control arms or stock Mustang arms. These do not fit the old Factory Five
front lower control arms (pre-August 2003).
WARNING! Incorrect assembly and maintenance of this part can cause serious injury or death.
