Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2008 10:34 am Post subject: Beware drop spindles & 14 inch wheels
I just finished re-doing the front end suspension on my elky, springs, shocks, a-arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends , hubs and bearings, pads and 2 inch belltec drop spindles. My car also has a set of 14 inch inch american racing wheels that came on it when I purchased the car.
After doing all this I notice that my inner rim now contacts the edge of the lower A-arm b/c of the wheel being up higher on the spindle. So it looks like my wife is gonna be pissed cause I need to get different wheels ( me thinks 17's ) So when buying drop spindles keep in mind that you may have fit issues especially with 14 inch rims.
ps. for anyone who has a 5th gen cruck with 17's what offset are you running? _________________ M.E.T
