Sorry to bring this old thread back up but with with the Ranger or Aerostar drums in the rear would i have to specifically have to use Ranger or Aerostar brake shoes or are they all the same? Or will this still use the standart fox shoes? I'm in need of a rear brake job on this vehicle but i am not sure what parts i will need. On the Brake drums they have the part # 2686 on them if that tells your anything. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ben
If i were to change the shoes in the rear, you're saying it would use standard 89-93 mustang shoes with these drums if they're from a ranger/aerostar?
Yes. Order shoes for an 87-93 Mustang....2.3L or 5.0L
Only difference is the outer drum between Mustang and ranger is the number of holes.
Oh.
Oh. One more question. Is there and pros and cons between 94-95 spindles vs 96-98 spindles? I currently have saleen Wheels on and the PO put spacers on the front. I kind of want to shy away from the spacers. Wondering which would allow me to do that.
96-04 spindles would push the front wheels out slightly more than 94-95 spindles. However the difference is minimal. 8mm or so. (little over 1/4")
Keep in mind though that that means a greater turning arc for the wheel to sweep through when turning lock to lock, so the chances of rub increase as well.

Cool. I think I'm going to swap the fronts out if that's the case. The calipers are pre 99 from what someone told me on here.
