Has anyone else installed 88 front brakes/spindles with the 85/86 K member and A arms?
What struts did you use? Have any problems with caster/camber range??
I'm using MMC plates and don't have the range of caster/camber setting MMC says I should have. I've looked over the strut offsets and spindles and they appear to have the same geometry.
Any suggestions of what else to look at/compare?

should be a direct swap.
1988 Thunderbird Sport 351w/5.8L swap, Mustang 4R70W trans swap, Turbo coupe front brakes and rear diff swap with turbo coupe prop valve, Turbo coupe hood, Turbo coupe wheels.

You may have to go with the negative orientation to get the camber you want. You can also slot your struts (or strut tower) as well.

I remember hearing about this once before, but I don't recall what problem was.

One side gave me the -1/2 deg. camber I wanted with the "street" orientation. I had to go to "race" orientation on the passenger side to get even close to -1/2 deg. Caster is only about 2 deg adjusted against the rear stop. MMC says that I should be able get as much as 6 deg.
I wish you could recall......
