Is it a direct swap or is there any modifications you have to do to run the v8 stuff?V8 spindles and brakes
Done
The car has disc brakes/5 lug conversion all the way around and 8.8 swap already, it was done before I bought it. But when I measured the strut mounts on the front spindles they were 1" which is the thick 4cyl spindle width correct? I guess i need to figure out what parts were used in the swap??If you are talking about 4 lug brakes it's a bolt in affair, maybe different brake hoses now a 5 lug swap is a different story, for that see the thread on 5 lug swaps in the tech subsection for what you need, it's not difficult and many here have done it
Sorry I'm new to the mustang world! I ordered the struts for 87-93 fox. After looking into these they say they fit v8 cars only (different spindles than 4cyl). All the info I have read says the 4cyl fox spindles have the thicker mounting points. Should have done more research.. Anyway's, I definitely need to figure out the exact parts used in the 5 lug swap. Whats the easiest way to tell the difference in the spindles/brakes from the different years/cars?Time out.
Not enough info.
What 5 lug setup are you running? What year/model struts did you order?
The 79-86 and 87-93 4cyl spindles are thinner than the 87-93 v8 and sn95 spindles. You shouldn't be shAving anything down, if you bought v8 struts, you should be having to add washers for a spacer with 4 cyl spindles.
On way the flange would be too thick is if you bought 79-86 or 4 cyl struts, and try to put them on the thicker v8/sn95 spindle
So...what do you have and what did you order?
So if I do end up having 4cyl spindles can I not just take a 1/8" off the flange instead of swapping spindles, brakes, master cylinder, etc..?I goofed, the 4 cyl spindles are about 1/8" thicker than v8
