TRZ Motorsports Billet Aluminum Drop Spindles, Spindle Mount (1979-2004 Mustang)

CNC machined billet aluminum drop spindles from TRZ Motorsports for the 1979-2004 Mustang, built for spindle mount and hub style race brakes. Choose a 2", 3" or 4" drop. Bolt-on billet steering arms and hardware are included. Designed for drag race applications only.

Features

• CNC machined billet aluminum spindles with heat treated stainless steel pins
• 3 piece design with no welds or seams
• About 4 lb per spindle, 8 lb per pair, much lighter than stock Fox and SN95 spindles
• Strut mount flange is .750" wide and fits the factory Fox Body GT mount
• Titanium pins (TRZ 32601-TI) are offered as an upgrade and save just under 1 lb. Contact us for a price

What's included

• Bolt-on billet steering arms for a 1/2" rod end
• Castle nuts, keyed washers and cotter pins
• Steering arm bolts
• ARP stainless caliper bolts
• Ball joint spacers for Fox Body ball joints

Brake compatibility

• Spindle mount brakes from Strange and TBM
• Hub style brakes from Strange and TBM with the 5 x 4.5" Ford bolt pattern
• Certain Baer SS4 Deep Stage kits in 5 x 4.5" (Ford) and 5 x 4.75" (GM). Contact us for details
• Mustang brakes made for the factory spindles will not work

Fitment notes

• The 4" drop requires a 17" front wheel
• Long travel struts may interfere with the spindles and steering arms
• Strut to spindle bolts must be 5/8" diameter. Stock hardware will not work
• Fox Body (1979-1993) ball joints need the included spacer below the castle nut
• 1994-2004 Mustangs may need an A-arm narrowed 1" or more, depending on the caster camber plates on the car
• Adjustable A-arms are recommended
• For spindle mount wheels, the design is based on the large bearing of the Strange GT strut. It does not fit the Anglia or Strange Ultra struts

Steering arm length

• The steering arms have two outer tie rod holes
• The hole closer to the spindle gives factory length
• The outer hole is 1-1/2" longer, which helps when the steering rack sits 2" or more ahead of the stock location
