Mk1 and Mk2 Escort compression strut kit

Mk1 and Mk2 Escort fixed compression strut kit.

Manufactured by GRP4 Fabrications, this fixed-type compression strut kit allows for precise castor adjustment on Ford Escort Mk1 and Mk2 models. Adjustment requires removing the mounting bolt from the rose joint, meeting specific motorsport homologation regulations.

When combined with adjustable track control arms, compression struts allow full geometry control of castor and camber, significantly improving handling, cornering precision, and braking stability. Castor settings of +3.0° to +3.3° are typically recommended for rally applications, with higher angles suitable when power steering is fitted.

• Zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance
