[Chevelle-list] Spindle

[Jim H. Thompson]

Did you change your upper control arms to the shorter ones, or were you able
to get proper alignment?

If your spindle taper has build up from powder coating you may need to clean
the taper for a proper fit.

This web site may help you find the proper ream to clean up the taper.

I installed tall spindles form a Camaro and had to enlarge the taper so the
nut would close down enough for the carter key to be installed.

Hope this is of some help to you.

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
