MM Coronavirus Update

We’re changing our phone hours to 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Pacific Time (Monday-Friday, excluding holidays) so we have more time to process orders and get them out to you.

Please be aware
Our supply chain is suffering major pandemic-related disruptions. Many of our suppliers shut down for a time, and like us are operating with reduced manpower. Meanwhile, demand for MM products has skyrocketed. Thank you! We’re a small company and we regret our website isn’t fancy enough to inform you of back orders when you buy something. Please understand that we’re working as fast as we can to fill your orders.

UPS Shipping Times As of March 24, UPS no longer guarantees the shipping time for any shipment. i.e., expect shipping time to lengthen.

1979-1986 Mustang Struts and Shocks

There are not a lot of quality dampers available as direct bolt-in replacements for the first years of the Fox chassis Mustang.

Front
  • Of MM's offerings, only the Eibach damper kit fits the first generation Fox Mustang spindle.
  • Fitting other performance struts to the first generation Fox Mustang can be done by swapping to 1987-1993 V8 spindles (or SN95 spindles) and brakes, and using struts from the 1987-1993 V8 group. See the spindle tech section for swap information.
Rear
  • High performance shocks do not fit the OEM mounting on the 7.5" axle housing unless the car was equipped with factory-installed quad shocks.
  • Fitting quality performance shocks is easily done by upgrading the lower shock mount. If you don't have an MM Panhard Bar, you'll need to order 2 shock-to-axle mounting brackets (MMSM-2).
  • If you have an MM Panhard Bar, the axle mount does double duty as the lower shock mount on the driver's side. You'll need to order 1 shock-to-axle mounting bracket (MMSM-2) for the passenger side.
