94-98 spindels

[1987coupe]

what all do you have to do to run 94-98 spindels and brakes on a fox coupe someone said the ball joints are different?:confused:

The balljoints are longer on a fox, most people just stack a few washers on top before the nut and cotter pin.

94-95 and 96-98 spindles are different FYI. The 96-98 will increase track width (not what you want on a fox). Check www.maximummotorsports.com for specifics on the subject.

This guy has the spacers for that.

You can either run SN95 ball joints or grab a set of those spacers off the corral. Like it was said, the 94-95 spindles are ideal, but the 96-04 spindles will work. I have a set of 01 spindles on mine and they are fine, it just puts the front wheels outward by about 8mm. I am running 17x8 2001 GT wheels and they are fine, but I have heard if you run 9's up front or some huge wheel you might run into issues. I havent been able to drive on mine yet but you might want a bumpsteer kit also, since the tie rod locations are different than fox spindles.

i dont know what year mine is but what i dont like about mine is when u turn the wheel real sharp they rub.

Got a picture of your's Pence? I noticed the dust cap is poking through the wheel center cap, which leads me to believe you probably have the Lincoln setup on yours.

i probley do i will take the front wheel off tomorrow and take a pic of it

[Marker1989]

Yea do that, we'll be able to tell you what you got.

how about the calipers would i need a different master cylinder or booster

[Marker1989]

You'll need a different master cylinder if you go rear disk as well.

[1987coupe]

just looking to do front

[Marker1989]

You'll be fine. What brakes are you going to be useing? 99-04 GT (and v6) PBR calipers are the closest to stock 4 lug junk in piston diameter so you will get the least pedal feel change with those

Depends on his setup. I now wish I had the 96-98's because my 9" wheels are probably going to rub the coilovers up front with the 94-95's. The 94-95's increase track width as well, just less than the 96-98's do.

I personally had to swap to the 93 Cobra MC even with rear drums and PBR calipers up front also. It always seems like everyone's car reacts slightly different to the same swap.
