They might work. But I have not been able to find out any info on the tread pitch of the 99+ mustang.

Only help I can think of is go to autozone or your favorite parts supplier ask them for a 04-08 f150 inner tierod and ask them for a 99+ mustang outer tierod and see if they screw in to the inner

Does anyone have any experience with the belltech drop spindles? I think I might try a set to try and correct some of my bumpsteer problems.

I don't see drop spindles helping bumpsteer that's the problem with our trucks they aren't designed to be dropped that low unless your bagging it and doing custom uca's and raising the upper control arms. You might give status a call and ask them.

This is why I was thinking they might work.

Per belltech:

By relocating the wheel mounting point a.k.a. spindle pin higher on the spindle casting, our engineers were able to provide a 2-3” lowering without affecting any other suspension or steering geometry, not even the shock absorber!

Belltech Drop Spindles offer a 2 or 3 inch drop depending on the application, while improving handling and retaining factory ride quality. Belltech spindles maintain critical suspension geometry and eliminate excessive ball joint, shock and tire wear common to other methods of lowering. Each spindle is built from OEM grade high strength ductile iron, providing the structural integrity to meet and exceed all factory specifications & requirements.

So by moving the "pin" up it lowers the truck and it does not change the angle of the tie rod. And right now I am using the drop strut which lowers the whole truck, in turn makes the tie rod go up further..........Those are my thoughts anyway..

I figured I would see how far the front goes down with the 3.5" lca's and the 2" spindle's then go from there..
