Which will do what with a shorter one?

[Cooter]

throw the alignment off

throw the alignment off

To much to where it cannot be put back with adjustment?

Suspension geometry = over my head for now.

You're half right. The curved steering arm of the 94/95 spindle will induce bumpsteer which will get worse when you lower the vehicle.

No I'm 100% right. We're talking about stock pre 96' kmembers.. In 96' Ford starting using the Modular motor which required lowering the rack 1" to clear the oil pan. The steering arm was in turn lowered 1" to make up for this clearance issue. With a 96' spindle on a pre 96' kmember you will get irreversible geometry problems. No bumpsteer kit, no relocation bushings, nothing will fix this! As a matter of fact... I just gone done parting out a fox with 96' spindles/stock kmember that had a bumpsteer that caused the crash that totaled the car. On a lowered fox using sn95 spindles depending on how low you go... you may need a bumpsteer kit and caster/camber plates. A minimal drop will need neither.

Ok so the 96+ will be fine on my car?

Do you know how to do research? For fucks sake. Here you go sweet heart.

better to find out now rather than later mike.

On another note, what about the v6 stuff, I know they're scattered through out all the local salvage yards. Anyone know

[71chevellejohn]

Mike, honestly it is spelled out how to do the 5-lug conversion in the link posted above(the "comcast" link in post #4). There are multiple variations on the 5- lug conversion depending on what you want to achieve. The comcast article lists all the correct parts to look for if you are buying new or hitting up salvage yards. A little bit of reading will go a long way.

Same as the GT stuff.

for the record, my 93 Vert has all '02 stuff and has been lowered 1.5 to 2 inches. No driving issues at all. no aftermarket camber plates, no bumpsteer kit. All stock Ford parts.

Interesting.


Did you do any modifications or alter anything during the swap?

[shumpertdavid]

Well if you decide you want to give it a shot, hit me up, I've got the 98 stuff sittin there. Just had too much going on to sit down and post of what's left from my part out.

Well I could get all of it and try and find some 94/95 spindles. Will everything else swap over and work? I would think it would.

I told my mom I wanted this for my birthday. Lol

Which is tomorrow. So I'll let you know a when Im off this week and I can run up there and get them.
