Reply #3 – March 27, 2008, 05:20:33 PM Quote from: vinnietbird;211169How are the '99 Stangs different?Tie rod mount location (1" lower on the 96-04 spindles due to the lowering of the rack with the adoption of the 4.6) and a slight increase in track width.You don't need SN-95 ball joints, just about 5/16" worth of spacers under the nut. If you need to replace the ball joints, then use SN-95, but you don't HAVE to replace them to do the conversion.You will also need 87+ Mustang struts as well, or mod your 85 ones to fit.
