[Chevelle-list] Spindle

[Brad Waller]

Spindles are all the same, but if you powder coated the entire spindle, you
will have reduced the opening for the ball joints.  When you powder coat,
you need to mask off all threads and press fit type openings.  A few
thousandths of coating can prevent the ball joint from moving far enough.

I too am doing a frame off resto...  I checked with the auto store today and
they verified that I had the right lower ball joint (original spindle going
onto new MOOG lower and upper ball joints).  I know have some good ideas to
try tonight.  I found myself the other night with a hammer in my hand
thinking about convincing my newly powdercoated spindle on to my newly
powdercoated control arms that are attached to my newly powdercoated frame.
Needless to say I had to walk away.  Thats when I sent the email.  I will
try tonight to get them back on.  I have done coil springs before but for
some reason these are fighting me.

Havinvg malibu spindles and putting BB coil springs wouldnt have anything to
do with it would it?  I have always thought they where the same spindles for
BB and SB cars.  Maybe not
 
Thanks again
