EDIT: slow typer here,...
I guess I don't understand what happened.
Is the spindle wrong or the balljoint?

It use to be,... that the only drop spindle you could buy was a 73-87 drop spindle.

Then companies started making 60-62, 63-70, and 71-72 drop spindles.
Here lies the problem.
I assume they only cast one drop spindle.
Then each specific "year" spindle get drilled and reamed for the correct balljoints and outer tie rods.
If all these different spindles were thrown in a pile,... I couldn't tell you which was which.

I wish the spindle companies would stamp or cast the "correct year" of the spindles on the spindle itself.
Then you have human error that puts the wrong spindle in the wrong box, or ship out the incorrect spindle to begin with.
I'm not defending CPP, because I have had issues with them myself,... just trying to understand what you are going thru.
