Steering Knuckle Arm length????

Are both (driver and passenger side) steering knuckle arms suppose to be the same length???? Mine are two different lengths.

I would think they should be the same lengths. I have never seen them different...

From what vehicle were these from/for? ...your 73RR? If so they should be the same.

This might explain why i could turn further one direction than the other, and why my tie rod sleeves were completely set differently from left to right!!!!!

Anyone know where to get another set?

You should be able to find em from a 73 and up B body or any FMJ or R body up to 87 and will all bolt right up to your 73RR spindle (spindles are the same too)

It's odd that there would be two different ones on your car unless someone replaced the spindle at some point and didnt notice the difference in the arm length... I say the spindle because there's really no reason to unbolt the arm from the spindle like on an A body spindle. :shruggy:

You may be correct there, the car was hit square on the wheel/spindle, back in 1985 by a 69 Caddy that spun out on black ice, and the car had a bumper about 3 feet tall and solid steel, which bent the center link, and it may have trashed that spindle as well. It pushed the centerlink hard enough to bend the opening on the K-frame, but didnt tweak the K-frame.

I guess i am now hunting for a set!

Found a matched set, much better!
