Front ends aren't really my cup of tea with these cars and I'm stuck in a bit of a pickle if anyone can advise me on this.
I'm in the middle of a 5 lug sn95 brake swap on my foxbody and tried lining up a 94-95 spindle onto the ball joint and found out that the spindle didn't line up with the shock by about an inch on both holes. Would it be safe to just jack up the control arm enough or would this up some sort of geometry issue or with my fitment for when I put the wheels on (i.e. wheel being too far up in the fender because the arm is raised up)?
In addition, I know I need to buy new ball joints as the boot was torn once I got the old spindle off, but I already have the spacer made for the stock ball joints so can anyone advise me on either buying oem replacement ball joints or any fancy sn-95 ball joints? If so, what brand and where to buy them?
