Re: need help with drop spindle installation
It's possible you'll need a 71-72 ball joint or a 73-87 ball joint. Where did you get the spindles? If they're new, call the people you got them from and see which joint they accept.

Re: need help with drop spindle installation
I got them from a guy in craigslist that are brand new that he stated he bought from cpp. I just noticed today that the spindles say Western on them. Are those cpp brand too?

Re: need help with drop spindle installation
I got mind from CPP and they say western. I'd try a 73-87 ball joint. That's usually what fits their spindles, they are more common, therefore parts are cheaper.
