My main point was that you need matching year inners/outers because of the thread difference.
And, my main point is that you're not *reading and understanding* what I wrote. If you
only put on the sn95 inners and outers (no bumpsteer kit at all), then you still have BAD bumpsteer with the sn95 FCAs on a Fox. So, then, WHY would anyone ever want to do that? Oh wait, I know why - to get the
ricer-look of having the tires past the fender - that's why. Oh yea, and true to ricer-form, they
decrease the handling/performance of the car.
MM Adjustable Tie Rod End Kit, 1979-93, with SN95 control arms and a FOX steering rack, bolt-through style spindle.

This kit has
longer sleeves to accommodate the longer arm length if increasing the track width by using later model
control arms. The sleeves in our other kits aren't long enough to allow sufficient thread engagement.
Bumpsteer is a term for the situation where the front toe changes as the
suspension moves up and down. If the toe changes more than a very small amount it will cause the car to change direction, making the car unstable and unpredictable. MM offers two types of Adjustable Tie-Rod Ends. The tapered stud type can be used to make moderate changes to the geometry. It is best suited for use with a stock K-member, and does not require any modification to the spindle. The bolt-through spindle type has a much wider range of adjustment. It is required for most situations when installing a MM K-Member and requires drilling out the tapered hole in the spindle to accept a 5/8" bolt.
The installation of any adjustable tie-rod end requires that your car be measured for bumpsteer. This can be done by following our copyrighted step-by-step instructions. Look at our MMT-4 Bumpsteer kit for all that you need to be able to measure and adjust the bumpsteer on your car.

Yes, I know that people put on the POS B springs and *say* that everything is "fine". But, as I said many times, they are full of it. The same is true for people putting on sn95 FCAs without a bumpsteer kit. Yea, the car "runs", but they have
BAD bumpsteer. So, they do NOT have "better" handling. Same is true for the B-springs. They lower the car way too much. B springs do NOT give better handling - no way, no how - PERIOD!
Both are similar to the ricer mod of adjusting the TPS to 0.99v and going around saying how their car idles great, they now have 1.87 GA-ZILLION HP, and they've been using the same thimble of gas for the past 1,678 years. Honestly, to people that have a clue, they just laugh.
If people want to do what *I* call "ricer mods", go ahead, it's their car. *I* care about making sure people know the *truth* about mods. Most people do NOT want to do mods that hurt handling/performance, or will have many people laughing at them behind their back (and sometimes right in front of them). If people choose to listen to a teenager instead of a Principal Engineer, that's their choice. I just give people the info. People then choose what to do with it as they wish.
I've wasted way too much time on this topic already. Read what I wrote, or ignore it. To each their own.
