Hey guys,
For the 96 brake upgrade, the spindles form the 94/95; do they have to be form a SHO or can it be a regular taurii? also what cani do to "refurbish" them. thanks a bunch

They can come from a regular Taurus or Sable as long as it had ABS. The exception is if you are installing them on an 89 SHO, you don't need the ABS sensor tabs and regular spindles will do.

As for refurbing. Strip clean and coat with a high soilds industrial finish, install new bearings and hubs.

Yep, wagons have the same FRONT spindles too.

(Just in case anybody asks, its actually steering knuckles in the front and spindles in the rear. But who 'da **** cares.)

I was at the j-yard last weekend and saw a guy grab a LH spindle off a SHO for his regular Taurus. The funny thing was, the SHO had Tokico struts and he left those behind.
