New here and have a question on stagger in the front wheels of both the noted rides.
Both cars have the drivers front wheel about 0.5-1.0 inch further forward in the wheel opening than the passenger side.
I have to assume that they both came from the factory that way but what was the rationale for this configuration?
I installed Mustang GT 11 inch brakes/spindles along with the C/C plates and new struts (stock XR7 control arms).
I am asking as we cannot get anywhere close to the recommended +- 4 degrees caster angle.
The drivers C/C plate is pushed all the way forward and the passenger plate is all the way rearward and only getting about 2deg caster.
Maximum Motorsports figured my k member was out of square but when I checked the TC it was the same way so I don't think that is the issue.
Any thoughts/guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Have a super day all.

I have heard that some caster camber plates can be flipped and put together backwards.
Mm has a pretty good handle on these cars. Jack actually ownes a tc if I remember right and its one of few places that build parts For these cars.
I'm gonna wait around and see what everyone else who has cc plates says.
I didn't have any trouble getting +4.5 caster with my MM c/c plates. Granted, I have yet to do my SN-95 brake/knuckle/axle swap as you have. Subscribing.
[Not sure if it makes any difference but I only upgraded to 4 bolt GT wheels and have not yet done the SN-95 conversion. That is yet to come. Had the bigger mustang brakes/spindles hanging about to put them on. thanks guys.

Not sure whats causing your issue but might want to check your control arm bushings, mine (87 TC) were in poor condition when I swapped them for newer during SN brake install.
