Sorry Allen,no more pictures other than the ones in my Flickr page.
Like I mentioned to Steve it wasn't so much bad parts but the installation was all wrong.

The strut rods when used in these trucks are reversed from how they would be on a Mustang,the main issue was they were not installed parallel with the arms at ride height causing the massive toe changes. 3/4" at least!

I rectified the problem by removing the stock Mustang arms altogether and installing tubular arms from Speedway which do not require the strut rods.
The difference is immense.
