94 get steering rack in foxbody

If you use the Fox body suspension arms, the tie rods from the '94 steering are too long. Use tie rods for an '82-93 Mustang. They are the right length and diameter. Tie rods for a '78-'81 Fox are smaller in diameter by .040 inches and won't fit tight on the rubber boots with the '94 steering rack.
Can't you just cut the tie rods down a bit to the fox length ? Instead of going through the pain of replacing them with Taurus rods, if you can find them.

what are you wanting to cut. the fox tie rods tread right on and are the exact length
Ok, I miss understood ! I have read several threads stating that it's best to use rods from a Taurus ....so that's why I assumed the fox rods wouldn't work. Thanks for the info, & I'm going to do the swap to the fox rods ASAP
Here's what happens when you use an SN-95 steering rack and tie rods and don't use the suspension lower arms to go with it. The car pictured isn't a Fox, but a '68 Mustang belonging to my co-worker Jay, screen name "AutoMongoose". It's got a Modular V-10, Mustang II front suspension and an SN-95 power steering rack to go with the Hydroboost brakes. He has since replaced the tie rods with '82-'93 Fox tie rods and tie rod ends, and now the wheels line up.
Notice that he's holding the tie rod up with his middle finger. Is he giving us a subliminal message? Just kidding.

A V10 68!? That has got to be a fun ride!
I'm not sure on the 94-95 racks, but 96-04 you have to use a Maximum Motorsports steering shaft, or order the parts individually from Borgeson. The rack end is a triangle on the SN rack vs splines on the fox body. I already a a flaming river steering shaft so I contacted Borgeson and I can just buy the lower end. Here's the part number for the lower u joint that fits the SN rack
Borgeson part #014955 Universal Joint
Borgeson part #014955 Universal Joint
I just got a 03 Cobra rack and bought that Borgeson lower joint for my steering shaft and it works perfect. So if u have a solid steering shaft it's pretty easy to do. Part was $80
