so i just finished up the front and put it on the ground, used 95 spindles, calipers, hubs, brake lines, and moog balljoints with prothane bushings in the ca's.

with the wheel straight, the passenger side wheel is dead perfect, but the driver side is pointed in a few inches. is this just the luck of the alignment being messed up and it just happened that way or is that an error in something i installed in the driver side? my alignment was about perfect before the swap. im thinking tomorrow ill go back over there (didnt drive it home of course) and try to get it eyeball straight to get it home.

whats my best bet?

You need to turn each rod end out btw 15-20 turns per side. This is due to the different geometry of the 94+ spindles.

So, yes, you will need to eyeball it and then take it in for an alignment

oh okay, it was wierd though cause the passenger side is dead on, but the driver was pointed way in with the wheel straight, i backed out the driver one and its eyeball correct, as is the passenger, but i dont tihnk i got that spring in by the weephole in the control arm so it has like perfect camber and is higher up ride height wise than the driver side.

i used 95 brake lines and the calipers, but they still feel like they fade some. is anyone out there driving 95 calipers and lines on the stock master cyl. every day?

You could do this: Home Alignment and you'll be plenty close to drive it.
