Apparently it wasn't bump steering before the alignment...or at least not badly.  Why not just replace the tie rod ends with what was there before (Granada?) and have it aligned by someone who knows what they are doing (hard to find these days).

Or if you are able, do some research here and on line, buy a couple of not terrible expensive tools, and align it your-own-self.  It's not really that difficult, you get to learn some things, and the job gets done correctly.  Also, you get to roll around on the garage floor and become more intimate with your Mustang...always a good thing.

Oh, and welcome to the best place on the web.

If they used Mustang ends you probably need these,

Would I have to use these adapters on both the outer and inner tie rods since all four have been replaced

Hold the phone...  Does your car have V8 steering linkage or the I-6 steering linkage?  It sounds like you have the I-6 linkage, because it automatically induces a TON of bumpsteer into the system when Granada spindles are installed.  Even the V8 steering linkage does that, but not to the extreme like the six cylinder stuff.  To see which you have, look at the pitman arm coming off the steering box.  If it has three connection points, including where it connects to the box shaft, it is six cylinder.  Two connection points would be V8.  Also need to know if power steering or manual.

Tell us what you have, and we can give answers that might help.

There is no way to correct the bumpsteer with any KIT on either one, using those spindles.  V8 steering linkage is the only hope to get it tolerable.

And as mentioned by another FYIFORDer, sometimes the shops try to adjust caster by loosening the strut rod nuts, which just makes things looser.  They are not adjustable.

Check out the tie rod adapter page on my web site for more info.

There's your problem.  Just because stuff bolts up doesn't mean it works right.  You need to compare the parts you have to some V8 Mustang parts to see what is different.  It is probably better than having six cylinder parts though, as far as geometry.

You need to know if it has 6 cylinder Mustang steering linkage or if it has V8 Mustang steering linkage or if it has Granada steering linkage.

If it has the six cylinder linkage, it is going to have severe bumpsteer.  The best you can do with the Granada spindles is to have all 65-66 Mustang V8 steering linkage.  I would think if it has Granada steering linkage, it is going to be alot worse than the six cylinder stuff.

I need to know what you have in order to help any further.  Some pictures would be a good start.

Granada spindles will not make the car's ride height any higher than stock spindles.

What have you done to the suspension since you bought the car?

I got no pics with that link.  How about just posting the pics here using the Upload Image feature in the lower right hand corner of the text box?
If it had Granada tie rods, there would have been no reason to use any adapters.

You need to figure out if it is 6 cylinder or V8 steering linkage.  What is the 5th digit of the VIN.
