I have some issues with my '65 Mustang's suspension (front and rear).
My car pulls to the right under brakes, and bottoms out in the rear.
Does anyone know of a 'good' person to take the car to on the South side/Ipswich area?
There are any number of people willing to 'have a go', get nowhere, and charge the earth. I can find those on my own.
What I am after is someone who CAN fix the problem, and doesn't want me to put his kids through University.
Can anyone help me with this problem, please?

Not really Ipswich area, but at Browns Plains is Pro Track, the guys name is Darren and he owns a 68 coupe and knows Mustangs..

There is also a guy at East Brisbane by the name of Norm Clarke who runs Norm Clarke Automotive. His phone number is 38917700. He has owned a few Mustangs in his time & seems to know his way around them pretty well. Certainly worth a try.

Talk to Shaunp (PM him). He knows about as much as anyone that I know about mustang suspension systems.

As far as cost, well from your description it sounds like to me your looking for a major replacement of bushes, ball joints, and shocks (rear) [possibly leaf springs as well] and a good alignment. Obviously it is hard to judge from a few words while the cost - always hard to estimate and depends on the amount of work and what really needs to be done. No one will know until you have a look at it.
