IMO they could help in a stock E-Body but I never checked to know for sure. As in stock form the ball joint is lower than the inner pick up points on the UCA. (UCA/ball joint pointing down )IMO this causes the top of the wheel to go out before it goes in ( camber) But you can mess things up quick. When I did hours of bump steer measurements with every combo I could think of using a-body LCA ,b-body drag links and the C-Body spindle etc.... When I used the taller ball joint in my combo ( 73 C-Body) it made the bump steer measurements worse, so I went back to stock length.
so your not running the taller howe balljoints on your car now?
No
But are you running the C-body (73?) Spindles?
If so, how much taller are they?
Yep I'm running the 73 C-Body spindle. They are 5/8" taller and drop the car 5/8"
The KPI on the e-body spindle I measured at 5 degrees, on the C-Body I measured it at 7.5 Degrees. To measure it I mounted the spindle pin in the lathe and then used a precision bevel protractor and measured the machined flat surface on the top of the spindle.
Do you think there is room between the top of your ball joint and the insde of your 18" rims to run 5.6" of backspace?
What backspace, width and offset (positive?) are your front rims?
Did you want to add KPI degrees to reduce scrub radius with your particular rim and tire setup (315/40/18 12" wide rim)? If so, did it help much?
