Early classic spindles hitting tubular control arms
Anyone else have this issue? The spindles have a chunk of metal that sticks inward on the aft end ( driver and passenger sides respectively ) and it isn't driveable due to massive alignment issues. I'm about to cut the protrusions off but they were pretty expensive... figured I would pick someone elses brain first though. I will get a picture later.
I assume the piece on the spindle that is the issue is a steering stop. Heck if I know. I know it serves me no purpose and I recycled my stock control arms so I cant compare. I will call Early Classic Industries on the 2nd if I have to but I dont see them doing anything about it other giving me their opinion on cutting the protrusion off. I have had so many delays happen with my front end rebuild I have no problem asking stupid questions to save me any more. Thanks for any help in advance. 69 C10 stock ride height. Nothing fancy but the control arms. |

Re: Early classic spindles hitting tubular control arms
Photos always help, but I am pretty sure if I remember right, that I had a similar problem with my lower Porterbuilt control arms & my drop spindles. I can remember grinding a rather large knob off from my spindle to keep from hitting. I was P.O'd because all of my stuff was powder-coated when I noticed the collision.

Make sure the control arms are on the correct side.
