OK I HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS. aND i put the 87 saleen spindle on with the 5lug rotor. NOW Im having trouble!The damn Spindle will line up to the bottom bolt that connects to the SHOCK but the Top hole WILL not line up to put the other bolt ! My car was a 4 cyl fox so can the SHOCKS up front be an issue?is that why its not lining up? lmk, pls asap. i will buy them today if anyone has them!

if your front struts are still stock from the 4cyl stuff, you won't be able to bolt them to v8 spindles.


the control arms are the same, but the spindles and struts are different.


good luck homey
