I get confused with this brake stuff...

[Eric VerValin]

Ok, I have a full knuckle, bracket, caliper assembly's, from a 97 SHO, and I have a 92.. someone told me that I cannot use the knuckles from the 97, but I could use the calipers and brackets, but needed 94-95 knuckles? From looking at them at a glance, I can't really see why I couldn't just bolt them up. What is it that I am missing here?

Thanks again!

I can use them, If I get gen 3 LCA's ? I gotta replace them anyway, and since I have everything from a 97..... ??

no you can't. you'd need a full gen3 subframe (modified)

use the 94/95 taurus knuckles, and the 96+ caliper brackets/and 94+ calipers, and 96+ rotors.

You could always email Kirk and get him to hook you up with a modified gen3 subframe. Alllow you to use the gen3 lower A arms, alum knuckles, and you can put a nice gen3 SHO ZF rack in it

The gen3 set up is a bit better than the 'ole "bushed tension strut through the single mounting point LCA" quasi- A arm set up.

Its a great idea, I have been working on this myself most of the day.
