First I am curious about this 78 Granada WAGON you came across.  I was not aware Granadas ever came in that configuration. (which makes your brakes suspect as to what they actually are).

I would not use poly strut rod bushings.  I do not care what anyone on any forum tells you, they restrict movement of the strut rods which will ultimately result in a failure of the rod. 

There is a fix for the ackerman issue with Granada spindles if you have a very large oxy-acetylene torch.  Simply heat the radius arms until they can be bent to the same configuration as the 65/66 V8 Mustang spindles.  The arms will have to be bent outward a bit.

Some cars do not have noticeable bumpsteer issues as long as you have V8 steering linkage.  It might be worth a try to just put them on and drive it.

I have pointed out issues with the Randall's rack many times in the past.  Even at one time posted a picture of a failed rack where the center link broke off.  But lots of people use them.  Just be aware there may be a better solution and do your research and due diligence.

Thanks Steve You are right,  after looking  through my records it was not a wagon I'm suffering from old age memory lapse. Having read so many posts on R&P, granada brakes, use poly don't  use--very confusing. What R&P brand would you recommend for what I  want to do  I have all the new parts for the granada switch that I bought years ago so I hate to not use them. Thanks for your help  I have access to   a tourch would you recommend putting it all together and seeing if there is bumpsteer if there is then try to bend the radius arm. Is there a pattern available to do this if I need to?
