yes there is a kit out there to correct the issue of bump steering in a lowered mustang. it looks like a spacer between the tie rod end and the steering knuckle.

Optimize the rack mount bushings and Subframe bushings. Not all steering arms are straight . Maybe yours are bent? Not all tie rods are the same , maybe you have short studs? Maybe there are longer stud tie rods. 5/8 fine thread I think.
Read the rules as far as rack placement, tie rod ends, lower control arm bushings. Just moving the lower point a little will help. "Tolerance stack" is what you want to do. Move all of these points the legal maximum amount.
Lower is faster, deal with the bump/ The mustangs can be pretty bad. I fix a bunch of the street rods that are way off, and raced a bunch of circle burners..

I thought I read somewhere that some year of tierod end was better for this but naturally I can't remember.
I owned and raced a 1993 Cobra "R" for a few years and the OEM tie rod ends on these cars were not the normal Mustang ones. If fact you can find then on most any Taurus of similar year production.
I know this because my Mom's 1995 Taurus has the same tie rod end as my "R". They were used by Ford SVT to "improve the bump steer" as the car was lower then a normal Mustang or Cobra.
