Escort Mk2 RIX Engineering WRC Front Suspension Modular Kit TENSION STRUT + STRT.

Escort Mk1 & Mk2 special WRC type front suspension setup.

Tension Strut Type
Includes Bilstein Strut Casings

Originally designed for the Safari rally Escorts, this is the strongest and most advanced set up available today for the Mk1 and Mk2 Escort.

The main advantage of this set up is the scrub radius position over the standard Escort setup, giving less tyre resistance and more grip. The tyre wear rate will be lower so softer tyres can be used.

The damper legs are quick release so that the inserts can be changed at service, camber angles can also be adjusted by simply replacing shims.

All components are precision fabricated and CNC machined for maximum strength and durability whilst keeping weight to the minimum.

The core assembly consists of an aluminium upright block fitted with a larger stub axle. Attached are special alloy hub, including all bearings, seals and hardwear.

integrated into the core assembly via the bottom pin is the fabricated steering arm which joins to the steering rack track rods via an in-situ adjustable rod end.

Compression strut bar is attached to the special fabricated and TIG welded track control arms and include spherical bearings fitted.

The damper units are quick release via two mounting bolts to the uprigh block, here the camper angle can be adjusted by fitting special camber shims, includes 4 types of shims and gives 7 camber adjustments.
