Just grabbed a set of drop spindles (for a ball joint and disc front end on a 68 chassis).

Is it a big job fitting them in your garage??? Anyone found a walkthrough???

The rear is lower than stock so do i need camber adjusters??? Best to fit them anyway???

Any other tricks i should know about?????? 🤓

Any help's great!!!!!!

Only info I could find.

I haven't done it, but really, it should equate to a straight swap, just follow the manual. Your wheel alignment will probably need to be corrected.

Come on AVD! Plenty of you must have done it.

A POSSE AD ESSE.

I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.

Just finished an early. Late is easier if you can get the b/j tapers out of the orig stub (2 outer tie rod ends as well).You may need a b/j removal tool but most of these damage the dust boot. If your ball joints are worn, now is the time, and if so maybe a vw shop would be best as a 10 ton press is reqd (min). Awheel align is a must after installation.
