1996-04 spindles will increase the front track width by 0.320' ( 8.1mm) per side.1994-95 spindles will increase the front track width by 0.120' ( 3.1mm) per side.Ride height will not significantly change after mounting a 1994-95 spindle on a Fox chassis front control arm (spring in stock location).Correcting bumpsteer is recommended for any Mustang driven in competition. Assuming that the suspension geometry is otherwise unaltered, this will not cause a significant enough change in bumpsteer to require a bumpsteer kit for a typical street-driven Mustang. 1994-95 spindle on a Fox chassis will change the vertical location of the steering arm by only 0.060' (1.4mm).Stack-up of required bumpsteer spacers would be about 0.96' less with the 1996-04 spindles, resulting in less flexing of the steering arm, which improves steering response.As far as the steering geometry goes, this has the same effect as if the rack was lowered by 1', relative to the control arm pivot points. 1996-04 spindle is a better choice than the 1994-95 spindle because the MM K-member raises the pivot location of the front control arms from the stock position.1996-04 spindles are an excellent choice when using a Maximum Motorsports K-Member on a Fox chassis Mustang.Doing so will prevent insurmountable bumpsteer problems. Stock Fox chassis k-member, or an aftermarket k-member that retains the stock front control arm pivot point vertical location, should use a 1994-95 spindle.It is impossible to correct the geometry with a bumpsteer kit because the outer tie-rod end needs to be raised so much that it would have to occupy the same physical space as the steering arm.That new position is far too low for the steering rack location of any 1979-93 Mustang, and radically changes the steering geometry.The lower steering arm forces the outer tie-rod end to a lower position.The steering arm on the 1996-04 spindle is about 1.02' ( 26mm) lower (relative to the rest of the spindle) than the steering arm of any 1979-95 spindle.

Do not install a 1996-04 spindle on a 1979-93 Mustang fitted with a stock-geometry k-member! Doing so will significantly increase bumpsteer because.The best choice depends on whether a stock K-member or a Maximum Motorsports K-member is used. Decision must be made between using the 1994-95 spindle or the 1996-04 spindle.While swapping the SN95 spindles onto a Fox chassis Mustang is not overly difficult, there are quite a number of things that must be considered. This increases the amount of bump travel available, over that provided by the Fox spindle, by 1.14' (29mm). When installed on a Fox Mustang, a 1994-04 spindle moves the strut housing down, pulling the upper strut shaft out of the housing. Possible to increase bump travel for lowered Fox chassis Mustangs (fitted with Fox chassis struts) because the strut mounting ear on the 1994-04 spindles is about one inch closer to the ground than the ear on a Fox chassis spindle.Brake upgrade: Your choice of either the 1994-04 GT or Cobra brakes, or the big brake kits offered by StopTech, Wilwood, and Brembo.Swapping the original spindles of a 1979-93 Mustang for one of the 1994-04 spindles can lead to improved performance.
