Hate to think the spindles are attached to their steering knuckles that poorly!
Why do we refer to steering knuckles as spindles, anyway? I guess it like saying "rims" instead of "wheels". |
I just bought a pair of Western Chassis spindles for my 82 C10, so we'll see how they work out.
That is all pretty interesting. When I first bought this kit I did not realize their reputation. The parts I have from CPP are the following. Spindles, tierods, springs and upper and lower control arms.
I am not that impressed with the geometry of the lower control arms in regard to the shock mount. They know it does not line up well and dont seem to care as it has not changed even though the truck on their show room floor has the same alignment issue.
To be honest I am not sure what I will do with all the CPP gear. I am almost tempted to replace all of the CPP parts with something made in the US and has a solid reputation. Maybe I am overreacting, but when it comes to steering I would rather spend more cash if i have to.
Thanks for your response and now completely have me second guessing my set up
