Subject:      Swapping out bad spindle/s
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi Vanagoneers! Another issue with Velma my most enjoyable money pit!! I am currenly swapping spindles/hubs due to po's lack of everything!! I noticed different casting marks on the spindles? I believe the donor was an 83 I hope!! If not I know the upper balljoints just bolt in to the upper A frame control arm. The question is the lower balljoint,is it the same size on the spindle? I know they changed the lower contol arm in november 84? Since Im in there now I figure its best to replace upper lower and inner outer balljoints and bushings including strut arm bushings for less to worry about/knowing its all good!! Any help would be nice since my bentley seemed to be lacking part#s to refer to!

Velma 82diesel 1.6 na westy
