Hey there, car enthusiasts! As a supplier of Lincoln Struts, I often get asked whether our Lincoln Struts can be used on modified vehicles. It's a question that's on the minds of many folks who like to give their rides a little extra oomph or a unique look. So, let's dive right into this topic and see what the deal is.

First off, let's understand what Lincoln Struts are all about. Our Lincoln Front Sports Suspension Struts and Lincoln Sport Suspension Struts are designed to provide a smooth and stable ride for Lincoln vehicles. They're built with high - quality materials and advanced technology to handle the demands of daily driving as well as more spirited maneuvers.

When it comes to modified vehicles, things can get a bit tricky. A modified vehicle can mean a whole bunch of different things. It could be a car with a lowered body, upgraded engine, or custom wheels. Each modification can have an impact on how the suspension system works.

Let's start with lowered vehicles. Many car owners like to lower their cars to improve the look and sometimes the handling. When you lower a vehicle, the geometry of the suspension changes. The angles of the struts, control arms, and other suspension components are altered. Our Lincoln Struts are designed for the stock suspension geometry of Lincoln vehicles. In a lowered vehicle, the struts may not be able to travel through their full range of motion. This can lead to premature wear and tear on the struts, as well as a less comfortable ride. The shock absorbers inside the struts may also be working harder than they're designed to, which can reduce their lifespan.

However, if the lowering is done in a proper and controlled way, and the new suspension geometry is taken into account, it might still be possible to use our Lincoln Struts. Some professional modification shops can make adjustments to the suspension mounting points or use spacer kits to ensure that the struts fit and function correctly. But this requires a lot of expertise and careful planning.

Now, let's talk about vehicles with upgraded engines. A more powerful engine can generate more torque and acceleration. This puts additional stress on the suspension system. The increased forces can cause the struts to work harder to keep the vehicle stable. Our Lincoln Struts are engineered to handle the power and performance of stock Lincoln engines. If you've significantly upgraded your engine, the struts may not be able to provide the same level of support. You might experience more body roll during cornering, or the vehicle may not feel as planted on the road. In this case, you may need to consider a more heavy - duty suspension setup.

Custom wheels are another common modification. Larger or wider wheels can change the unsprung weight of the vehicle. Unsprung weight refers to the parts of the vehicle that aren't supported by the suspension, like the wheels, tires, and brakes. When you increase the unsprung weight, the struts have to work harder to control the movement of the wheels. This can affect the ride quality and the handling of the vehicle. If the wheels are too large or heavy, it could potentially damage the struts over time.

But here's the good news. In some cases, our Lincoln Struts can still be used on modified vehicles. If the modifications are relatively minor, such as adding a small body kit or upgrading the interior without affecting the suspension geometry or the power output of the engine, our struts should work just fine. Also, if you're using our struts on a vehicle that has been modified in a way that enhances its performance in a similar way to what our struts are designed for, like a mild sports - oriented modification, there's a good chance they'll be a good fit.

To determine whether our Lincoln Struts are suitable for your modified vehicle, it's important to do a thorough assessment. You can start by looking at the specific modifications you've made. Consider the changes in suspension geometry, engine power, and unsprung weight. If you're not sure, it's a good idea to consult with a professional mechanic or a suspension specialist. They can help you evaluate whether our struts will work with your vehicle's modifications.

Another option is to contact us directly. As a supplier of Lincoln Struts, we have a team of experts who can provide you with personalized advice. We can take into account the details of your modified vehicle and give you an informed opinion on whether our struts are the right choice for you.
