Front lower control arms - 87 tbird June 20, 2011, 02:23:44 AM I have read somewhere here that the control arms from a SN95 Mustang fits in place of our stock arms. I have found a set of arms from AJE (anthony jones engineering) that have spring cups, since i want to keep the stock style suspension and K-member. Do anyone know if it mounts right up or do i have to modify something? like the connection to the stock fox spindle....Vegar Quote Selected

You can use Fox ball joints with SN-95 spindles with a spacer, but you can't use SN-95 ball joints with Fox spindles, as they are too short. Quote Selected

Didn't someone here machine down the fox spindles to run SN-95 balljoints? Quote Selected

You can do it if you like, I suppose. For me, it's a lot of work for a py front brake set-up. Even the py SN-95 brakes are better than the Fox ones. Quote Selected
