Will_D Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Has anyone converted over to the whole spindle? I'm wanting to do this to get rid of the mess that is the whole kingpin, bushing setup. Will the Hardbody arms bolt on without throwing the geometry off? I was planning on building some arms, but I'm lazy, and if I can just pick some up from the junk yard I'm going to do that. :P Thanks, Will Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 No, there's serious geometry differences. You need custom A-arms to do that. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 It can be done, but there are some modifications involved, personally I have done this to my 521 which is basically the same thing as a 320, and there were some issues that had to be worked out, by no means are you going to be able to bolt it on using some washers and call it good, and it will move your wheels out a few inches on each side also. If you can wait on this for a while, Mike K. is working on this, he is making custom upper and lower arms, and his plan is a stock track width. Here is a link to his custom disc brake build, it starts on page 28, post 558 in the last pages of his thread. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/8175-mklotz70-project-mend/ Quote Link to comment
