91-96 Panther chassis (Lincoln Town Car, Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis)
Front steer
Wheel bolt circle: 5 x 4.5 (114.3mm)
11”, vented, slip-on rotors with separate bearing hub (11.45" for 96)
10.5 degree SAI. 94-96 inclination not provided by Ford/lincoln but should be the same if it uses the same bearing hub and spindle.
Single, 2.87” piston calipers with sliding body (smaller bore for 96)
Short spindle height should put the ubj at tire height or less.
UBJ uses a pinch bolt at the spindle and bolts to the uca through an eccentric cam washer for adjustment of camber and caster. It is easy to get to without jacking and/or laying under the car and no adjustment needs to be built into the uca and lca pivots so non-compliant bushings can be used. Replacement of the ubj does not require a press or pickle forks.
A fabricated uca should use a .250” mounting plate with two studs pressed in from underneath. The donor uca studs and hardware should be used. Bolts could be used instead of studs but adjustment would be a bit more “sloppy”.
