Do Bump Steer kits offered by various vendors eliminate the bumpsteer caused by the use of Granada Spindles on a 65/66???

I'll take a stab at this and say "no". The BS kits I know of are designed to correct bumpsteer from a change of ride height. The Granada spindles problem is geometry and is independent of ride height. I could be wrong. :beer

One pair is all you need for 1 car - replaces outer tie rods. Baer Trackers fit the spindle you have, not necessarily the model and year of your vehicle. For instance, if you have a 1965-66 Mustang but are using Granada or 1970 Mustang spindles, then choose the 1970-73 Tracker kit. If in doubt, please contact us before ordering.
Shaun has the kit you need . I have one in the shop but have yet to install it .

Does that correct the bumpsteer that is caused by the geometry of the Granada spindles?

I doubt it.
Isn't the problem with the Granada spindle is that it drops the tie rod like 2" lower than a stock spindle?

So I guess the verdict is still out...

Looking at these photos ( not mine ) you can see the difference in the two spindles, it's not much. I run the Granada spindle on one of our track cars without issues. I put the Baer bump steer kit on it and took out almost all of the bump steer.
Dennis at discbrakeswap.com makes a new spindle for the Granada brakes with the correct placement of the steering arm for the 65-66 cars if you want some.
Some people have issues with the Granada spindle while others don't. We don't. I have it on several of our cars and it works fine. The street cars don't use the bump steer kit.

kcode,
I believe they are the same... what kind of steering issues are you having with your 66?
