Suspension/Steering / Front wheel stagger question 88TC and 88XR7
[Not sure if it makes any difference but I only upgraded to 4 bolt GT wheels and have not yet done the SN-95 conversion.  That is yet to come.  Had the bigger mustang brakes/spindles hanging about to put them on.  thanks guys.

Suspension/Steering / Front wheel stagger question 88TC and 88XR7
New here and have a question on stagger in the front wheels of both the noted rides.
Both cars have the drivers front wheel about 0.5-1.0 inch further forward in the wheel opening than the passenger side.
I have to assume that they both came from the factory that way but what was the rationale for this configuration?
I installed Mustang GT 11 inch brakes/spindles along with the C/C plates and new struts (stock XR7 control arms).
I am asking as we cannot get anywhere close to the recommended +- 4 degrees caster angle.
The drivers C/C plate is pushed all the way forward and the passenger plate is all the way rearward and only getting about 2deg caster.
Maximum Motorsports figured my k member was out of square but when I checked the TC it was the same way so I don't think that is the issue.
Any thoughts/guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Have a super day all.
