Anybody have a pic of a loose spindle/casting number or pic front suspension?

It looks to me like the lower ball joint stud is not lining up with the scalloped area on the back of the knuckle. When the suspension is at full lower travel the knuckle hits the bj stud. Same problem on both sides.

Ball joints came from PST and are listed for 64 Dodge.

Parts book lists the knuckle as the same; no difference L to R. So they should be interchangeable on both sides. The castings do look different, though.

what are you working on? 64 what? Maybe switch sides and see if it still hits.

B body...

I'd really like to know if the knuckles are correct before I spend more time on this...
Switching sides may look OK but still be the wrong parts.

Would a '63 drum spindle pic be of any use to you?

I've been here almost 10 years. Anybody that knows me knows that there is no car other than a B body in '64.

Thank you for the effort, though. Merry X-Mas.

Yes. L and R pics would be a plus. I'm working with '64 drum spindles. They should be the same, "Stephan."

My collectibles shop keeps me busy so you may have to wait a few minutes...

Hope you're happy!

Yes, thanks. I just didn't trust what I was seeing.

Hopefully you didn't get your wittle hands and knees dirty crawling under that hideous 63 Dodge. Then again, I'm pretty sure your used to having dirty knees...
