Description
Factory stamped steel Z-bars were never designed to handle the increased pedal pressure of high-performance clutches. When you upgrade to an aftermarket pressure plate with higher clamp loads, the stock equalizer bar can bend or break under the added stress. The Strong Hold Z-Bar Linkage Kit solves this problem with a fully TIG welded Z-bar construction that delivers the strength your performance clutch demands.
The key to smooth clutch engagement is eliminating the binding points that plague mechanical linkages. This kit replaces every wear-prone factory bushing with precision components: a CNC machined pivot tube rides on spherical bearings, while the upper and lower linkage rods feature Teflon lined spherical rod ends. The result is consistent, linear pedal feel with a precise engagement point you can modulate with confidence.
The fully adjustable linkage rods let you dial in perfect clutch pedal travel and engagement height. Solid rod construction with male rod ends means your stock rubber firewall boot still fits and seals properly. The complete kit bolts directly to all factory Ford mounting locations with no modifications to your vehicle required.
Designed specifically for 1967-1970 Mustang and Cougar applications running small block Ford engines (289, 302, 351W) with standard exhaust manifolds. This is the mechanical linkage upgrade for builders who want to keep their factory-style clutch release system while eliminating the weak points that limit stock components.
