Anyone running Belltech spindles.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Liltroy · 12-22-2016, 07:15 PM

Hey guys Im trying to trouble shoot and fix some suspension issues and I appear to have belltech spindles but only one says belltech on it. Is it normal for only the driver side spindle to have the belltech logo embossed? Im wondering if I have a missmatched set of spindles. Also my truck is a 74 but the spindle has part number 3120 which is for 71-72 model. Is this an issue? Ive been plagues with suspension issues since Ive owned this truck and trying to get it all straight so any help would be great.

You need # 3100 or # 3200 spindle depending on the width of rotors you have.
The upper balljoint and outer tierod holes are different on the 3120 spindles.

Ok but these are the spindles that have been on the truckbfor at least the three years I've owned it. Do you have belltechs and are both of them embossed with their logo?

Yes. Logo on both spindles.
I prefer Belltech on 73-87 trucks.

ok so Ive got some kind of mismatched set of spindles! This really sucks. I already had to buy all new stuff for the rear. Looks like the fronts going to be the same way. And Ive got no money. I guess Im just going to put everything back together and put the 15" wheels back on till I can afford to straighten all this out.

I forget the year breaks but there are differances in the ball joint and tie rod tapers. Sounds like you have had a time with this truck.

yea this truck started life as a parts truck for a truck my uncle restored. I should have never even started messing with it but Im too far in and too much money in to not keep going now.

If you have mismatched spindles it would explain you issue in the other post.
