I just ordered an 8.8 out of a 2004 Mustang....but I just noticed something I didn't see until I went to order my Steeda control arms. Apparently there is some sort of a difference with the 99-04 lower control arms. Any ideas what the differences are between the LCA's on the earlier mustangs and the 99-04's? Which ones would I need to use for this 99-04 8.8 on my Foxbody?

 

I am pretty sure the newer ones are different length. I know fox LCA's will work.

 

i believe the difference is the size of the bolt that goes through the rear end...that's all

 

like shawn said...control arm bolts are larger on 99-04

 

Well I knew something was bigger!! LOL Need to stop taking these drugs and reading posts!!

Sorry for the wrong info

 

Is it the bolt that connects the front of the LCA to the torque box, or the one that connects the rear of the LCA to the housing, or both?

 

i think its just the body ones

 

they using 14mm diameter bolts now? the foxes used 12mm

 

put what ever size bolt in it you want...

 

If you are putting a 99 up rear in a fox you will need 12mm bolts for the torque boxes and 14 mm for the rearend housing. Make sure you have the correct sleeve in th LCA bushings to accomodate, Steeda sells them seperatly so you can convert arms over.
