here is the dilema
1989 coupe with a griggs k member and a arm setup, the car used to have 95gt spindles and a bear brake kit
the brakes were sold with the spindles
I want to put on a set of 5 lug mark 8 style rotors and spindles from a fox, i actually have these parts already and plan to use them
I have heard that the sn95 spindles use different balljoints
so if i had sn95 spindles and switch back to fox crap, do i need to swap in different ball joints ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Yup. You'd need to swap them out.
Swap control arms over. It's ALOT easier...and then sell the SN's! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

if it was just stock for stock theni would do it, but these are the nice control arms
ball joints cant be that bad

I just realized that I have fox ball joints and sn-95 spindles. No problems here Car tracks perfectly at any speed and caster/camber is controlled via MM plates. I have even taken my wheels off and set them to the side and they wear evenly; no feathering or other signs of mis-alignment. Keep the balljoints dude they are fine. Unless they were swapped and are something other than fox joints?
