Note: Some early model A-bodies used steering arms with 7/16” mounting bolts. The bolt holes in the steering arm must be drilled to .50”. It is recommended these modifications be performed by a qualified machinist.

ProSpindles mount to your OE ball joints, using stock or aftermarket replacement tubular control arms, lower the center of gravity for less body roll, while maintaining your steering geometry. The ProSpindle's 1.6" taller overall height means better negative camber gain, more caster gain, and a raised front roll center to modernize the way your car handles. These Wilwood 2" drop spindles are made from high-strength steel and mount using the existing OE bolt-on steering arms, so there is no increase in bump steer.
