THE EARLY S550 DEVELOPS.
The pre-facelift S550 continues, including the GT350. Verify powertrain, brake, and suspension packages before selecting service instructions.
With independent rear suspension across the regular range and an international launch, S550 made the Mustang a more global sports car. EcoBoost, GT, Shelby, Bullitt, and Mach 1 each offered a different interpretation.
IDENTIFY THE CONFIGURATION.
A model year is the starting point. Confirm the body style, engine, transmission, axle, market, and factory packages before comparing specifications or ordering parts. A restored or modified Mustang may no longer match its original build.

OWNERSHIP NOTES.

The imported 2016 workshop manual is not a substitute for this model year’s service information. Use the correct factory publication.
