kinda makes you wonder if the steering parts were from a 94 & up mustang, i think these were wider than the fox, i believe i tried a 2000 rack yonks ago, i think it was wider or leaked, i cant remember, but there was an issue. i got a feeling a lot of these parts are for the 94 & up. what did you find with the ball joints, were they correct or were the spindles incorrect? it can be frustrating when building these cars up, so many things fit, but when something goes wrong-it can be for a number of reasons.
