1968-79 Bay Window Stock Width Elite Front Lowering Kit

Stock Width Elite Series Front Lowering Kit – 1968-79 Bay Window Bus

Elite Series Split Screen Beams are built around a versatile design including direct mount with no body / chassis modification for Narrowed and Stock width models, flexibility for Air Ride and Static applications as standard, fitted with roller needle bearings as per original Split Screen beam assembly, ambidextrous fixings for LHD and RHD models as well as both a factory and 1” beam raise built into every end plate.

Combining this with an increase in castor over factory axle design to achieve improved road holding, particularly at speed whilst also reducing lane wander. Fixed via dual adjusters on both upper and lower CDS single piece beam tube’s and linked to the spindles via our own design raised/ tucked steering pin mount.

Each steering pin is relocated tighter to the beam, both counteracting the effect of increased castor in reference the drag link rod whilst most importantly resolving ackermann angle issues on our 2” and 4” narrowed models. This increases both lock-to-lock travel whilst reducing steering weight at slower speeds.

Further to these features we offer CNC’d Torsion Leaves / Through Rods depending on your application, plus solid core Track Rods pre-narrowed and ready to install as well as brake servo mounts.
