1979-86 and 1987-93 non-V8 Mustang Spindle
First generation Fox-chassis spindle was fitted to all Mustangs, regardless of engine, through 1986. While the V8 Mustangs were fitted with a redesigned spindle in 1987, the non-V8 Mustangs continued with this spindle through 1993.
Features
- Tapered roller bearings
- 1-piece hub and rotor assembly.
- Small 10" rotor diameter.
- Limited selection of performance brake pad compounds.
- Unique ears for mounting the stock caliper; aftermarket calipers cannot be installed without significant modifications to the spindle.
- Calipers, brake pads, and hoses are unique and cannot be swapped with any others.
- Thickness of the strut-mounting ear is greater than on the other Mustang spindles, and therefore most high performance struts do not fit.
