47-55.1 Speedway Dirt track A arms for bagged S10s

On the left/right thing. I am pretty well positive that you will throw the caster all out of wack if you put a right Control arm on the left side.

The 8 inch may actually be short as every dirt track car that I have been around has a lot of positive camber in the left wheel and a lot of negative camber in the right wheel to make left hand corners with the tires making more contact with the track. The arms are way cheaper than street arms as they are pretty well disposable as far as dirt track thinking goes. Some of them probably have a couple of spares hanging in the trailer in case one gets bent.

Ball joints might depend on who made the control arm It shouldn't be an issue with an outfit like Ride Tech but may be a big issue with some less respected brands.

If they don't come with a ball joint get Moog or an equal unit.

I've never seen any spindle come with ball joints. Never have been interested in dropped spindles but I have seen no mention of ball joints in any add. Personally I'd rather try the original spindles and see how it works before spending money on dropped spindles. It's an extra couple of hours of work if you end up having to swap them to get the look you want but if you don't need them you are $$$ ahead.
