Dear Torana friends,

 

has someone here knowledge about using front spindles from a US car?

Such as Chevy Nova,Chevelle,Camaro ?

I couldnt find any infos about measurements in the Net.

There are some nice CNC billet aluminium front spindles (with steering arm) on the market,prepared for different brake upgrades.

It could be a option with using a adjustable upper control arms.

Take a look at this:

 

 

Many 60's and 70's Chevs use the same balljoints as HQ's.
