I'm needing a spindle for a 92 mustang lx 5.0. The parts store said I have to go to a junkyard but you don't see too many fox bodies sitting in junkyards and I also read the spindles for a 5.0 are different opposed to one for a 4 cylinder so does anyone know what else would interchange?
Thanks, Justin

4cyl spindle will definitely not work. the first part I know for sure is that the strut mounts are way different. but I think the ball joint is different and you would have to use a 4 cyl rotor/brake caliper... probably will have to find one on the internet if the junkyard is not an option.

Sounds like the perfect excuse for a five lug conversion

any 87-93 5.0 spindle will work nicely if you want to retain the four lug system. if you want to swap to five lugs, the 94-5 spindles will work by either using a spacer or swapping to the 94-5 ball joint.
