Who sells dropped A-arms for our trucks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72chevyLWB · 07-25-2002, 07:06 PM

I'm thinking of doing dropped a-arms instead of spindles so I don't chance screwing up my wheels or having to notch my a-arms.

Smooth68 · 07-26-2002, 11:29 AM

DJM I've used a couple of sets from these folks - there are some others out there. I'll look around somemore.

I just like the feel and looks of these versus spindles, along with the fact that there are no install issues.

72chevyLWB · 07-29-2002, 11:13 PM

ummm, doesn't over $400 seem kinda spendy for a-arms

Smooth68 · 07-30-2002, 11:53 AM

The over $400 price is control arms with "DJM cross shafts?" - WTF? I've never bought mine with a special "cross shaft - the price with out the cross shafts are only a few $ more than their spindles. I'm not even sure why they would try and include those unless they are just figuring that the factory ones are just wore out

Turner Enterprizes has them or a kit were you can do it yourself.

There is also AIM that carries "Chassis Tech" - I'm pretty sure our member NSANE68!!! can also get these same arms -

One more dealer would be Chisholm Enterprises - 562-941-2650

I found drop spindles for 179 for a pair with lifetime warranty. Why would I be better off with A-arms. I just want the info. not trying to tell you they are bad

Doesn't really matter to me...

I thought by your original post you were wanting to go with control arms. I'm glad you found some spindles that will work.

katdaddy · 07-31-2002, 03:42 PM

72CHEVYLWB, WHERE DID YOU FIND THOSE AT????

72chevyLWB · 07-31-2002, 07:31 PM

yeah, I think you told me that before, but are there any other reasons? I would like to do A-arms instead if I could find a good deal on them. NSANE68 has a place at www.phatcustoms.com . He e-mailed me and told me..

NSANE68!!! · 07-31-2002, 07:58 PM

Yep that's me guys.

I have the spindles, and can also get control arms. Thanks for remembering me.

Smooth68 · 07-31-2002, 10:11 PM

I think its cool that we can keep as much business "in house" as possible - this way it seems to help everyone out

70 Jimmy · 08-01-2002, 11:32 AM

NSANE68, Are those 71-72 or 73-87 spindles?

NSANE68!!! · 08-01-2002, 02:58 PM

They are the 73-87, which requires new upper ball joint and tie rod. But your gonna replace them anyway. If done correctly.
