The Alston A-Arm Front Snout conversion cuts 230 lbs of sprung weight from the front of your car and allows you use adjustable coil over shocks in your suspension. The design of the Alston A-Arm Front Snout relies on the lighter Ford Pinto suspension parts because of the obvious compatibility with the Pinto steering. The spindles and bearing bosses on the Alston A-Arm Front Snout are stronger than the Vega units found in other conversions. This frame modification makes the chassis stiffer, and permits engine relocation. Snouts are not assembled and require welding.
