zpolencheck Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 I bought some new a arms off ebay. they are aftermarket chrome,+2+1 never installed and came with ball joints and tie rods. The guy said he did not know what brand they were, and the only place to buy ball joints that fit were hydrodynamics. I tried going to that website to see if i could track down the brand but that website wouldnt work for some reason (ishock.com) Anyways, they bolted up just fine, BUT the spindles have to be completly upside down in order for the shaft (hub shaft) to be even; otherwise it points way towards the floor. The stock spindle is longer on one part than the other, which is why it works one way but not the other, but with it upside down the tie rods will not bolt to the arm on the spindle. What is wrong? do I need aftermarket spindles specifically for them? I have never heard of this before. I tried everything to get them to work but they just dont. Any info will be greatly appreciated Quote
