S550 MUSTANG IRS SUSPENSION TECH : Removing BINDING and DEFLECTION with BMR for optimal performance!

[@joepisciottajr]

Holy hell! I’m 2 years too late for this video but I’m glad I watched it. All S550 owners who are doing suspension mods should watch this video. I have a bunch of BMR parts but I’m looking to do those camber plates and their sway bars. Now I know why my 20GT rides like crap.

[@Nutella5slow]

Bro I’m just doing this on my 20 as well.

[@MustangGuru]

The factory bushings are the reason these cars are so tail happy

[@nathaniellayton9549]

Good video! Looking to see how your experiment goes with the diff bearing.

[@willsperformancetech2933]

Nice content 👌 8:20m you don't need a 1k plus hp to twist does lower vertical links 😅 they are the most junky design ever. My 2017 s550 fbo had them both twisted and I don't even drag race at the track, just every now and then some pulls on the street with street tire not even drag radials.

[@Bronco8779]

OMG I've had this car for 8 years now and wasted a ton of money trying to stiffen everything and the real answer is you need it to move freely. So simple cuz it's suspension and it's SUPPOSED to move. I can see on the stock frame that it's twisting at an awkward angle under load! 😮 mind blown thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@mhdavis317]

When are those diff bushings going to hit the market?....I ordered the stud kit so I can drop the irs easier when the diff bushings become available!!!

[@4masmai]

Kelly, how has the spherical bearing worked out in the cradle?

[@javiermaldonado40]

Got a update on the diff mounts

[@tjreber7397]

Lowered S500 on Eibachs and installed the BMR adjustable camber links w/ Lockouts so I could properly align the car. Now I am getting a lot of squeaking from the rear suspension. Woudl that be from the stock rubber bushings in the end links or something else. I just cant pinpoint the issue. Going to check the diff bushings as you mentioned in another vid as well.

[@dto8182]

where did you get the knuckle bushings?

[@sergebasque8460]

You’ve answered my question concerning the front bushing leave it with the stock factory bushing. Thank you man excellent content has always.👍🇨🇦😎

[@Kf4yjz]

Question: At 9:33 your saying you replace both Knuckle Bearings with Ford Performance M-5A460-M Knuckle Bearing. So both are the same , 2 for the left and 2 for the right correct.

[@Coffeenerdtools]

Excellent, excellent, excellent content. Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this.

[@shamus813]

Boy I remember when this guy was bugging me at Automotive Engineering.........great vid Kel

[@Giftied]

sure wish you made parts for the 5th gen camaros like these.

[@نوافالجميل-ب6ض]

A killer video btw But I’m wondering, how can I get the same exact parts you have? Is it similar to the bread and butter package?

[@jordancook5171]

Super helpful video i did even know about camber lock out kit and now im adding it to my order

[@paulmarino8810]

so if you were going to do 1 change to improve wheel hop you're saying to do the toe link first?

[@user-bk5ey9ws5g]

Had a question about the vertical links. Bmr has a link with spherical bearing on both ends. Is this better then delrin bushings on one side for a daily driver? And do any of these possibly add nvh?

[@Mysterys0]

I bought used mustang Ecoboost from auction. It has crooked rear knuckle. It seems that all control arms look good. What is wrong there ? Can I send you picture to find out the wrong part ?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I have bought the bearings you suggest in this video. please tell me, did your idea around diff bushings work?

[@Phantomas2011]

Very interesting, I have the BMR link on my 15 GT! My rear control arm stock bushings are already shot… Why is ford so g-d d-m cheep???! Give the customer the option to have these upgrades done! BTW do the bushings you showed need a light lube, like silicone spray every so many miles???

[@motoguy]

I was the Sales Manager for Maximum Motorsports back in my college years. My roommate at the time was the engineer. We were heavy on the Fox Body parts, but getting into the SN95 parts too. The way you explain the resistance, tolerances, and how they factor into articulation of the suspension is great! It brought back many a great convos with my colleague. And I almost made the mistake of buying 'the other guys' suspension components, having not owned a Mustang in years. If not for their bad customer service, I probably would have run it. After looking further into BMR after that experience, it was evident they were the superior option... just factoring in the engineering approach and acumen alone. Thanks for affirming my decision!

[@BlueOvalTavern]

Love your detailed tech, Kelly.

[@scottcrawford4148]

Fantastic demo!

[@HeadBassVTEC]

are the the BMR poly versions also this free-floating and non-binding as their delrin versions? the video shows UCA763+TCA046 (both delrin versions) in action....what if I instead use the poly version of these UCA762+TCA048? will I get this free movement as well or do their poly bushings bind as the stock? trying to keep the NVH low as it's daily driven on bad roads

[@RipJawsX95]

I need this answer too 😭

[@michaelstallings2822]

Another great video! Thanks for doing these

[@trspratlen]

I had a lot of problems with my cradle. I broke an axle a few times and long story short I reversed the upper bolts and it started breaking the bottom ones. it destroyed the threads in the passages side bottom cradle bolt. when I got my new cradle I filled the holes in with black FLEX SEAL it made a noticeable difference. still let it flex a very little bit. so nvh isn't there but it took almost all of the play out of it for a few dollars.

[@jasonquiroz4708]

list of all the things you bought? would you recommend buying even if your car is a daily?

[@MrSicvic01]

I’m having trouble finding the parts you named in the video (main 3 things to change) are the all on your site?

[@OEMPlus]

i actually cured wheel hop without replacing vertical links. ford racing sphericals, good shocks, IRS cradle collars. thats it.

[@651MYGarage]

Thanks for making this video!

[@snakes5506]

Thank you sir, this is very helpful information grandly appreciated !

[@LearnSomethingHelpful]

Where can I get your posi lock kit?

[@KellTrac]

kelltrac.com/S550-Mustang-IRS-Subframe-Posi-Loc-System_p_64.html

[@HeadBassVTEC]

@@KellTrac great video, there are lot of things worth upgrading on the S550 suspension ;o] which susp upgrades do you recommend for tightening up the suspension without increasing NVH? for street with mild N/A 500hp setup BMR-BK081 + FR-M-5A460-M + BMR-UCA763 + BMR-TCA045/TCA046/TCA047 ? steeda recommends poly bushings on their billet vertical links for street/autox and delrin for drag, is maybe the BMR-TCA045 or Steeda 555-4129 a better choice for street application than BMR-TCA046? btw the KTI-BUK15L1 is BMR-BK081 + KTI-BUK15RS ?

[@OEMPlus]

it looks like if one was to do all this with the stock suspension you'd get a better ride and more consistent movement. is that true?

[@Cyber_GTCS]

Would like to know this as well

[@kevingomez8735]

Excellent Presentation, Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@woolf9035]

I actually understand the cost of bmr products now. Makes way more sense

[@Dailydriven5.0]

sorry didnt scroll down enough

[@jhorod09]

Appreciate the knowledge!!!

[@michaelelia3494]

Nicely done.

[@MustangGuru]

All the other smoke and mirrors as you say do is add weight to our cars.

[@diovalremonde2468]

This is quality content.

[@thomasrouh2258]
