Spindle change between 1966 and 1970 Mustang

[WadeMcBeth]

I recently purchased a 1966 Mustang. I had to rebuild the front end, ball joints were shot. Someone though had replaced the spindles with 1970-73 Mustang spindles with disk brakes. It has the disc brakes with brake booster. Besides a larger outer tie rod for the spindles is this going to present any problems for alignment?

My front end does have all 1966 parts, upper and lower control arms. Again except for the outer tie rod which is larger. It is a 1970 outer tie rod. I did take it in for alignment and they cannot get the proper toe in without going 1.5 to 2 degrees negative castor. Which I know is not good. Looking for 0 degree camber +2-3 degrees castor and 1/16-1/8 inch toe in. Even that it is still to much toe in by 4/16 inches.

It might be a granada disc brake swap, search mustang steve and theres his page w alignment specs. Just had mine realigned last week and it needed a lotta shims on the ps side. They recommended a strut tower brace to keep the shock towers from folding inwards

Not sure about the Grenada swap. I will check that out. I did purchase 2 1970 mustang spindles that accept disc brakes. They are the same as the ones I replaced. Thank you for the reply.

I found this website: http://www.discbrakeswap.com/Mustang Disc Brake Conversion Kits SWAP2.html
They are saying this kit comes with spindles with the correct geometry for the 64.5-66 Mustang. Any and all comments appreciated.
Thank you,
Wade

Never heard of that company. Some folks make brackets to bolt a caliper on the front, some on ebay. Heres mustang steves site for sure good stuff

In my opinion the granada swap sucks. Yeah I have power disc brakes that work awesome but the steering is funny, anything more than 30 degrees either direction the car just cuts sharply to that side. I shoulda just got a loaded k-member, and want one. But I barely drive the stang and have a new project
