What is the main benefit of upgrading to these strut rods?

These Hotchkis strut rods offer improved control and performance by reducing flex in the front suspension. The stiffer polyurethane bushings and 4130 steel construction lead to sharper cornering and braking response.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit includes the strut rods, polyurethane bushings, and yellow zinc-coated hardware. It is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for your factory strut rods.

What is the advantage of the added caster?

The built-in +3/4 degree of caster can improve steering stability, especially at higher speeds, and can also enhance the steering wheel's tendency to return to center after a turn.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to sharpen up the handling on your 1965 or 1966 Ford Galaxie, this strut rod kit from Hotchkis is a solid option. These replace your stock front strut rods, which are key components for controlling wheel alignment during braking and cornering. By upgrading these, you can expect a more connected feel from your front end, especially when pushing the car a bit harder.

Hotchkis builds these kits with precision-machined 4130 chromoly steel rods, which are known for their strength and light weight. The control arm mounts are TIG-welded for a strong connection, and the whole assembly is finished with a durable gloss black powder coat to resist corrosion. You also get stiffer polyurethane bushings that help reduce flex compared to stock rubber ones, leading to sharper cornering and braking response. Plus, these kits are designed to add about 3/4 of a degree of caster, which can improve steering stability and feel.

This kit is a direct bolt-in replacement, meaning it's designed to fit right onto your Galaxie without needing major modifications. The included hardware is yellow zinc coated for added durability. You'll get a noticeable improvement in control and performance from your front suspension.
