OK.
I was given a complete 96 Mustang GT front spindle, caliper, and rotor setup for both sides. I have no money in the 96 Spindle.
The story is you cannot use 96+ SN95 Mustang front brake spindles because the steering arm where tie rod attaches is straight where the 94-95 Mustang has a 1 inch upturn to account for the difference.

Running the 96 spindles apparently causes the steering rack tier rod arms to be lowered 1 inch which makes bump steer very bad and it cannot be adjust out.
I came across the Steeda X2 balljoints: http://www.steeda.com/products/x2_balljoints.php
Steeda says the X2 balljoint is intended to raise the spindle back up to regain suspension geometry on lowered cars. What I dont see is how much it raises it.
If I read this correctly I can use the Steeda X2 balljoints to move the spindle up relative to the straightline of the steering rack to regain steering geometry.
If I add in the Steeda offset rack bushings then this would allow me to adust the rack up or down to further regain steerings geometry.
I am planning to run front coil over strut kit so can adjust ride height independent of the spindle location.

Please pick apart my attempts to use 96 spindles or please give me advice to better the situation.
