Re: spindles and whith
I took the spindles to the machine shop and had them move the holes for the ball joints in 3/4 inch. Problem solved everything bolted back up perfect. No more four wheel drive look. Happy but poorer now.

Re: spindles and whith
I think you will find the 87 front end was also 3/4" per side wider....

Re: spindles and whith
Slowbuild, I did not take pictures. I knew if I didn't I'd wished I had. What he did was make plugs for the old holes and milled new ones.
Kieth, I beleave the difference in width is in the spindles. I did not change crossmember only control arms and they measured the same lenth. It must be to make them the same as the rear dif. width. There must be others who have fixed this. I am not building a show outfit I just know what I want. |
