So we will see! lolife99 they sent the same spindles back to me and sent two moog joints..the tierod ends fit the taper as they should they were for a 85 c-10 the taper is off somewhat
So you're saying that if I order a set of 73-87 Western Chassis spindles,... I have to change the upper balljoint to a new set of Moog balljoints,... even if my balljoints are fine.
That in itself would keep me from buying Western Chassis/CPP spindles.
Especially if I just purchased a set of new tubular a-arms and then had to buy another set of balljoints.
Something still doesn't sound right to me.
