How do I make my front suspension work with 5-lug spindles from a RWD Monte Carlo/Grand Prix/S-10/etc?

Tony (Tonyhallo) says: "The following information is my findings while installing 1981 Monte Carlo spindles on a 1971 Vega. I have not installed the calipers yet because I have a long way to go and the brakes will be one of the last areas to address. €¢ Spindles from Monte Carlo, Regal, S-10 2WD, etc. will work.

Years 1980 and newer. €¢ S-10 2WD are same until approximately 1988. The junkyards have a book that identifies what spindles will fit these type of cars.

The supply of replacement parts should be good for a while since they fit many vehicles. €¢ Steering arm is slightly longer on the Monte Carlo spindles. 7" as compared to 6 1/2".

Steering box seems to have the necessary travel. €¢ All other dimension appears to be the same. €¢ NOTE: The upper and lower ball joints on the H-body are too small for the S-10 spindle.

You can have adapters made that fit around the ball joint stud and take up the slack, or you can modify your control arms to use S-10 ball joints. Here we assume you're ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
