Ah grasshopper, not if you know where to get a set of these:

They convert the strut connector on the spindle to accept a balljoint.

Did you use a aftermarket mustangII front end or one from a donor car?

I noticed on their web site that they don't list a kit for a Maverick. Did you install one for a mustang if so how good did the crossmember fit?

I could get my dad to make me a pair of those out of aluminum. I really want to run fox body brakes and lug so I can get rid of these adapters and run small spacers in the front.

I don't know if I'd trust those made from aluminum. Not like that, anyway. That's a pretty high stress area, and aluminum will fatigue and crack under enough stress cycles.

That's strange...
They do make a kit for the Maverick and comet though.
The instructions that came with the kit were for the Maverick and the Xmember slid in there tight.
