That's a bad year to try and use. 96 year spindles put the front tires out way too far.

And I believe the booster had a different rod that mounts to the pedal assembly.

you need to use 94-95 front spindles, 96 and on i believe makes the steering a problem, and i think the rear is a little wider?

You need 94-98 axles...doesn't matter v6 or v8 same thing.

Take the spindles and sell them and get 94-95 spindles
