    I've done lots of searching and collecting data, but I can't seem to get any definate answers. I want to replace all of the steering components when I re-assemble my car except for the following which seem to be in good shape:
    -actual steering box
    -pittman arm
    -spindles
    -steering pump

    Everything inbetween, tie rods, cylinder, lines, etc, I want to replace. My front suspension kit is coming from the 71-73 Mustang. I've heard much speculation about how the Mustang parts are compatible, but never definate answers from people who have done it. I really want to know what else I need to make this happen. I'm familiar with American Pony, CJ's Pony Parts, Mustang Corral, etc, so I'm good on the sources end, I'm just kind of lost.

    Gp down to a parts store and have them cross refernce between Stangs and Granadas to see which parts are the same and then order parts from that point.

    It's a little time consumming but you can go to www.autozone.com and look up the individual parts for comparison.
