Okay! Okay! We heard you. You have a Crown Vic front end
and now QA1 has front coil-overs for you. Today we're going to install them.

Hey everyone, Steve here at QA1. Now since introducing our F100 suspension a
couple years ago, we've talked to many of you F100 owners
and you're saying what do you have for me I've already
swapped the front end for the Crown Victoria suspension.
So now QA1 does have a coil-over for you. Why shouldn't you have the ride height
adjustability in your front end and the valving adjustments that's going
to make the ride so good. So today we're going to be installing
these new QA1 coil-overs on the Crown Victoria suspension. In this
instance we have this very nice 66 F100 so let's get started.
Now with any coil-over installation you'll want to first measure straight up
through the center of the tire with the vehicle on the ground to the fender.
This is our starting point so we know where we started.
If you want to return the vehicle to its original ride height after the coil-over
install you'll want to write this down.

All right so on the Crown Vic setup we do want to get those ball joints
separated, leave the bottom nut in. However, these ball joints both
facing downward be careful of the spindle falling out on
you. But we always want to suppress this any spring energy that's
still left in there and that's where we're
using this pole jack here to keep some pressure on this lower control arm and
make sure we don't have an explosion of energy out of this
spring. Always a good idea on all coil-over installs.
(Music)
So now that we've got this old junker out of there we're going to be
putting our QA1 coil-over assembly together that comes with instructions
telling you how to get the spring on there. But this new unit here
comes with a new upper bracket we've got this one here is a double adjustable.
Also will come in single adjustable and a real nice setup with our new black
springs and also comes with the bump stop so
should make an easy installation we're going to get to that now.
(Music)
So on these coil-overs here for the Crown Vic setup, you'll notice that the
adjustment knobs are on the top which is different than you might
normally see at QA1 coil-over. Now this this shock now with making the
ride height adjustments to raise the vehicle
you'll be taking this spring seat collar and moving it towards the spring
which is going to extend the shock and raise the ride height.
Now side to side many vehicles will not weigh the same amounts
so it's not uncommon to have the collars you know not exactly at the same point
side to side. You may need to adjust one a little bit
more than the other to get the car level. Once you have that ride height
adjustment made and set you'll lock it in with the
locking collar here and then these will be your valvings
compression on on this side and rebound on this side.
Now you may have single adjustable shocks
which control both directions of the shock 18 settings from full soft to full
firm or you may have a compression
independent adjustment with 18 settings and rebound with 18
settings the instructions will come with base
settings to get you started but you uh but you will want to play
with this. There isn't an exact right answer we want to put a base setting
into it see how you like it. This is your vehicle after all we want
to ride how you want it to ride. So that's it. Super easy bolt-on
installation for your F100 or Crown Victoria front end.
If you do have an F100 65 to 79 and you heard about our QA1 suspension
you can check that out on our website at QA1.net/F100.
But if you already happen to have a Crown Victoria front end
whether it be on a Crown Victoria or on your F100 be sure to check that out on
our website as well. So super simple bolt-in
installation we've got the ride height adjustability to get you sitting right
where you want it to sit. The valving adjustments so that you can
soften or firm the ride get it to ride the way you want it.
It's all about enjoying your truck so we encourage you to do that.

Did you have a Crown Vic swap and we've got
suspension foot all right I was on to something there
I was onto something there what are you giving me looks for because I swear you
said 75 to 72 so I was trying to figure out that's
actually what you said if you said 65 you don't know they made it 75 to 72 it
was like a special edition don't mind me I learned everything from
that guy anyway
So that's it super bolt-in...super bolt-in
