What spindles are these?

These were on a parts truck I bought.
GM calipers, 5 on 5 pattern, ABS sensors and wires, someone welded ball joints to the arms so I dont think the ball joints where right for the arms.




I was thinking they might be 88-98 stuff...but i dunno..What do you guys think?

Re: What spindles are these?

Looks like a metric type caliper/fitting. Since they're a 5x5 pattern, the 88-98 is a semi-common adaption & would be my top guess.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: What spindles are these?

Do they swap into the 67-72 with ease? Just change ball joints? Is this the use the 3/4 ton lower arm, 1/2 upper and what not stuff?

Re: What spindles are these?

They are shorter then the western drop spindles on my truck. By about 1/4 of an inch. They are 8.75" abouts.

Re: What spindles are these?

Ok I did some hunting. Mostly on the rear end...which from several clues is making me think the rear and the front parts are all from a 94 caprice. Doing some quick interweb searching, 91-96 have the 5 on 5 bolt pattern. And they had ABS. So Im 90% sure these are off of a 94 caprice.
