Here's a link to the S10 forum where they are discussing this.

Thanks, do you know the trouble I went through to mount them like that? Now I have to go back and change it

Sorry.

But it's better than having to buy new ones.

Okay Mike time for some updates...

BACKYARD88 · 03-19-2012, 09:28 AM

I finally worked on the C-10 some this weekend. I got the upper arms painted and put together, the new Dropmember gussets in and the lower arms plated and painted. If NAPA hadn't given me the wrong lower bushings the lower arms and front brakes would be on. I'll get started on that tonight.

Nice project, I haven't finished reading it all yet. Definitely like the rear suspension setup and the silver paint on the front dropmember/suspension, looks great!

BACKYARD88 · 03-23-2012, 12:06 PM

I got the arms bolted on for the last time. I guess it's time to buy a set of spindles, I've been waiting for a good deal to come along but I'm to the point that I need them now
