Anyone see it yet? Opinions? Someone has finally taken the time to compare the taller later B-body spindle to the popular A-body piece used in brake upgrades. They mapped out the geometry changes through out the suspensions travel, looked for binding at full travel, etc, etc. They found a few concerns, but for the most part debunked most of the myths floating around. I won't go into great detail here, that's what the article is for, I'll just say that (as some here have said) the later B spindle will work fine despite being taller. Hmmm....maybe now's the time I put my extra spindles on ebay?

Somebody did that years ago.
Mostly those of us running them for years.
But now since it's in print it must be gospel, except to those that have an ideological axe to grind against MM or tall spindles.

Ahhh, the Dulcich vs. E-booger (Mopar Muscle vs. Mopar Action) war over spindles continues.

I was concerned about the raised roll center also.
Suppose you are in a drag car, with no sway bar and loose shocks and suspension. You hit a greasy spot at half track and get a little sideways. Will that higher roll center hinder your recovery? Will it cause the car to gyrate back and forth until you lose it? Or is it no big deal, won't make any big difference?
BTW, does any one know if software like they used can be downloaded free anywhere?

taller spindles LOWER the roll center, assuming no other changes.

I ran "F" body spindles on my 64 Polara for about 5 years without incident. Because of the controversy on this site and in the various magazines, when I rebuilt the front suspension, I switched to "A" body spindles. Personally, I could tell no difference in handleing that I could contribute to the spindles. I don't race it, but I do drive it fast and hard. Go with what you are comfortable with.
This would be so much easier if I knew what I was doing...
