Wow, I didn't know that. Last time I looked around for those spindles they were $400 a pair.

That is a really good deal for a new pair of spindles. The ebay ad is a little misleading probably because the guy doesn't know much about Mopars. Those are 73-74 A/E body spindles. They'll fit any ABE car from '62-'72 and can be used for disc brake conversions. He probably just doesn't know that or didn't want to type it all in. In any case, that is a killer price. He must be buying them wholesale and selling them for just a small markup. Most people charge about twice as much for the same knuckles.

I sell the same thing for $200 pair.




well dang it, the guy says they have the same bearing sizes as the original 1970 E body spindles. He said that these AREN'T the later 73 and up bigger wheel bearing spindles.

was he correct? will my original disks with original bearings fit?


It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

My guess is that the seller is wrong. As far as I know, nobody is reproducing the small bearing knuckle. I could be wrong of course. Maybe the seller actually knows more about his parts than I do!

I doubt the seller knows more. He lists those as fitting a Toad runner.

Quote:

Spindles fit B & E Body Style Chrysler, dodge, plymouth(Cordoba, Dart Polara, charger magnum, Savoy, Belvedere, Satellite, GTX, Toad runner, Regent Sebring, Sport Fury, Suburban.




Parts I seek: driver doorpanel, 65 Sport Fury, prefer black, needs to be 7-8 on 10 scale, might buy set 16" x 6" Dodge truck wheel(s), from early 70s?, takes 9" dogdish - need for a research job so cheaper is better. 69-73 C-body caliper brackets and/or splashields Send a PM.

Well I should know in a few days..... i bet you are all right but I hope youre all wrong.

I will post the findings.

On a good not, I went to buy new rotors for the cuda. O'reillys had them for $177 each

Advance auto had them for $225 each

Autozone had them for $77 each So I bought them expecting them to be the wrong ones. BUT i picked them up today and while they are a one piece rotor/hub, they are the small bearing rotor and look like they will work. i'll take a better look at them tomorrow.

The oreilly and advance rotors were Wagners while the autozone was a duralast (but it looks to be the same thickness as my originals...)

I have a post in the restoration section trying to id some brakes and was wondering also if the Duralast will work. I'll definitely be awaiting the verdict.

Well the rotors showed up today and guess what, THEY ARE THE FREAKING LARGER BEARING SPINDLES

man, nothing ticks me off more than ASKING A STRAIGHT FORWARD question and getting a wrong answer- especially since I could have bought some others from Steves Musclecar parts at the beginning of the week and had them here by now to go on the car tomorrow.

but no, i took a chance and got the shaft. now the car sits until next week.

Well if you buy those spindles then you'll be fine because they'll have the larger bearings also.
