Alright, I understand 93 taurus tie rod ends are the way to go for an 03 cobra steering rack swap. The 03 rack is mounted in the car now. Stock a arms, 94/95 spindles, tokico blue struts, mm caster/camber plates, and eibach sportlines are my front end setup. What ball joints should I use? Fox body, 94/95's (my guess), or another? Thanks.

I liked the Steeda X2's when I ran them, but they make big changes to the bumpsteer curve of the suspension, because they move the position of the spindle and outer tie rod end without relocating the rack. It'll need a bumpsteer kit, properly adjusted, to work right. If that's not your bag, then use SN95 balljoints, or use fox balljoints with an appropriate spacer or washer stack under the nut.
