Tighten up the handling of your early Ranchero with a set of Hotchkis’ new Subframe Connectors!
When you add a little power combined with modern, sticky tires to a first generation Ford Ranchero, you’ll quickly learn about the inherent weakness and flexibility of the original uni-body construction. Our new Subframe Connectors tie the front end assembly to the rear leaf spring mount area effectively reducing chassis flex to improve the overall handling of your Ranchero.
The new Subframe Connectors, PN 4020, are fabricated from 1”, .095”-wall rectangular tubing and MIG welded for sturdy construction. Each Connector is designed with contours to fit as closely to the floor as possible – with no cutting or modifications required. The front section bolts in place while the rear connector fits directly to the leaf spring mount and is welded in place in minutes. You’ll instantly feel the benefits of a stronger chassis foundation in cornering, launches and even in daily driving.
