is this a drum or disc spindle ? It had disc brakes that was put on the car , just don’t know if they used the drum spindle or if they changed to a disc spindle thanks for looking
Hard to say with pic angles but looks like you have a crazy amount of negative caster.is this a drum or disc spindle ? It had disc brakes that was put on the car , just don’t know if they used the drum spindle or if they changed to a disc spindle thanks for looking

How come you red x'd me bonehead?Thanks
You mite be right, damn thing crazy all over, I had guy install upper arms and disc brakes , cheep 700 parts and labor ,I already had shocks , I was lazy and knew I should have done myself ,but here we are front was wore out and had drum brakes ,Hard to say with pic angles but looks like you have a crazy amount of negative caster.
Thats what I was thinking! ruffcutA-arms on the wrong sides ??
I’m very sorry was trying to give a thumbs up , I likedHow come you red x'd me bonehead?
No not wrong side ,caliber would be facing the wrong way , I know what’s wrong with it LCA wore out , torsion bar , no rubber in sway bar , one side rubber gone in strut ,, can’t just replace UCAs shocks and disc,need to replace everything,I believe it's the spindles that are on the wrong side.
That’s the Passenger side , maybe I miss spoke,that’s what I calling rear of rotor front of carAll of my 70 B-bodies have the caliper mounted on the front.
Thanks just change it to a thumbs up!I’m very sorry was trying to give a thumbs up , I liked
That does not matter. You can get the alignment within spec either way. I have had them mounted both ways and still obtained plenty of caster.I believe it's the spindles that are on the wrong side.
Thanks for the input , only thing on this car that has been changed on front end , is UCAs , shocks and spindles , it was all original nothing never replaced , I known this because it was my dads car , maybe uca or spinal are wrong part wrong year sThat does not matter. You can get the alignment within spec either way. I have had them mounted both ways and still obtained plenty of caster.
Something is wrong though. The upper ball joints are way too far forward to get any positive caster. Maybe the alignment cams are set to max negative caster?
I don't see any tilt to the upper ball joint mounts. That is part of the anti-dive.
You got blessed with one too for no apparent reason?How come you red x'd me bonehead?
