The rears are 275 40 17 the fronts are 245 45 17. I'm running an MC I believe from a Town Car, not 100%. I got it off a guy on eBay that says it was for 79-86 Mustangs and it has a 1" bore for rear disc brakes. The 79-86 still used SAE threads on the MC and are already a 2 port design.

For your 88 I'm assuming, you need to convert from a 3 port to a 2 port design using 93 Cobra I believe.

or similar, yea, thanks, just wanted to make sure. Dumb questio, forgot the 86- were 2 ports. Thanks for all the info, goal is to have the car back on the road by the end of this month (this is just one of a few things be fixed) but cars covered in snow right now.

Well...I know I'm not the only one and yeah, you can see that the tie rod angles down to the knuckle arm. You can get adjustable rack bushing as well. I've had mine for not quite a year and haven't had any problems...

ok, its good to know, ill be going to a tubular k-member in the next 6 months anyway (MM Max Grip Box), i'm gonna install the rear first, along with the master cylinder and everything needed to get that working, when im done with that i'll see whether i want to wait for the new k-member or whether i'll start asking questions on the install, did your car take anything above and beyound the basic 94-95 spindle install?


Thanks for the Halp, N/A
