FRONT END PARTS /GEOMETRY /ETC
01/05/13 at 9:44pm

in working with front suspensions and trying to raise roll centers and have more camber gain/ etc . we always chng the upper balljoints to the taller ones , my question is why hasnt anyone gone to the chevelle/camero/impala spindle , they are aN inch taller than the pinto/metric , steering arm is 1/2 shortet than metric ,1" longer than the pinto . i will be running a set in the future to get my own experiance with them , was wondering if anyone else has had any/much experiance with them , thanks in advance for any info. Wink

The used to be the trick for the asphalt guys that had to run stock componets everywhere.
