Well your lower control arms you have has a ball joint from your FOX that should work fine, you may need to space the castle nut. Check the guys at stangnet.com/mustang-forums

I have a question. I already have the corba brake kit on my 89gt. Im running 98 corba rims.17×8 The axles with the kit are 1.in longer than stock. I tried to run 275′s on the rear but they rub. My question is can i just swamp the axles from the Lin. markVII. Will this give me the room to run my 275′s ( i dont want to swamp rearend i have a aubron pro posi with 3:55. n the car.) Thanks Jamie

I have done this swap on Fox Mustangs several times, and I have used the following parts:
99-04 V6 mustang spindles and brakes. Fox struts will work with this, but you need to open up the mounting holes a bit more. I reflared the hard lines for my brakes, and used the 99-04 brake hoses on my fox, as they are a bit longer. You will need to adjust your tie rod ends out several turns to make the car drive straight enough to get to the alignment shop!
I swapped the complete rearend for a disc brake unit from any 80′s-90′s Lincoln Continental. If you are lucky, you will find one with a 3:55 trac loc….they are rare, but out there! Otherwise, it will be 3:23 gears and you may have to do a gear swap at a later date, or just use brake parts on your mustang rearend. I also prefer a master cylinder from the same Lincoln, but your stock mustang one has plenty of capacity to use as is, or you could add an adjustable proportioning valve to it.

Will this work on a 85 t bird as well or what will? Please help! I also am 100% sure fox 5.0 and t bird mark vii all have 8.8 rear ends. Am I mistaken? I was going to swap out rear end from a 88 mark vii with disk brakes but only down fall is the high gear, I beleave it’s 323. Also using the front roters from the same car. So other than the center cap not fitting what else should I look for? Are there any other options/
