need help with drop spindle installation

[crazychevyc10]

hey guys..

I FINALLY GOT THAT LOWER BALL JOINT OUT!!

now i'm ready to get the drop spindle in and will be needing to go get new ball joints for the top and bottom. but i was testing the spindles on today and noticed the lower ball joint doesn't fit in. does that mean i would have be buying a small size ball joint?

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.

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?

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.
