More info! What car? What SVO A-Arms (Part #)? What replacement arms (Part #)? Has the car been wrecked? Does it have the Ford Crash bolts installed? Does it have the factory CC plates?

hmm. sounds almost like you have the wrong spindle on there (angle of the strut towards the tower. The SVO spindles were different. Are they still on there?

It may also have a mis-matched strut for the application. Not sure what the setup is. Like Sendero said: more info please

its on a 89 coupe and the guy I got the car from said it had svo spindles and a arms on it well after I installed the a-arms the ball joint on the a-arm when installed to spindle just slids on there with no resistance and then installed the nut all the way down untill it bottomed out but the a-arm is not tight if you put a jack under the a-arm and jack it up the a-arm raises up about an inch or so but the nut is already bottomed out.The ball joint shaft the part that goes through the spindle is not large enough so I believe I will have to change spindles now.I know people use spindles off other cars but I dont know what cars will work so if you know let me know please

Yea. Like I suspected, you have SVO spindles. not compatible with the regular Fox A-arm & ball-joint. SVO setups are one-of-a-kind.

Best bet is to go all SN95 up front. The width is good and the geometry works.

If you must keep the fox arms and stuff, go with an aftermarket front brake conversion like aerospace, strange, wilwood, baer, etc. and use the regular fox arms & spindles. AJE has some sweet drop-spindles for a fox so the car sits low with factory spring heigth.

nice.

Correct. You can even use the 99+ PBR Calipers from the GT with a small modification via a dremel tool.
