Important Fitting Information

• The required Escort front struts have removable steering arms secured with two 3/8-inch UNF bolts.
• The additional 10 mm wheel-face offset provides clearance for vented brake discs despite the thicker aluminium wheel-stud mounting flange.
• Longer wheel studs are required because the aluminium mounting flange is thicker than that of the original steel hub.
• The increased wheel offset can improve clearance between the tyre and the coilover spring, particularly with wider tyres such as 185/60R13.
• Check wheel-to-arch clearance before installation; the wheel sits 10 mm further outwards than standard.
