We have them in stock now, and are a very popular conversion mod for lowered or track cars

Also, do you have a set for a normal 2WD Sierra?

The MEF new design does away with the offset spacing required on the rose joint and keeps the caster angle the same on road cars.
They come preset to standard length from the jig, so you can safely fit them and run around on them for months before you need to get them checked over or set up to help with your geometery.
They have a better competition spec rose joint than the other ones on ebay, and have centralised spacers so are suitable for both Mk3 & 4 Escorts.

If you alter the angle at the bottom of the wheel, with adjustable TCA's then the angle at the top of the strut will change too. This on a roadcar is obviously a rubber bush.
If your new angle is pushing hard on the rubber then its natural instinct is for it to push back.
The spherical bearing takes up this angle with ease without it straining the components.
We are out of stock on the Escort ones at the moment as they are quite popular with track and modified cars in Europe. Just waiting on the aluminium bar to come in before we can make some more

A simple quick fix is to elongate the hole in the chassis on the inner end of the wishbone mounting point.
