    Donor spindles to Factory Five upper/lower control arms

    Will donor spindles attach to the Factory Five upper/lower control arms? Spindles are 99-04
    Thanks again,
    Higgy

    Short answer yes. With the required upper ball joint adapter. http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/1381...apter-bracket/. That spindle is also slightly wider than previous versions. About 3/8-inch per side as I understand. The earlier SN-95 version with the dogleg (vs. straight) steering arm is the preferred donor spindle FWIW.

    Thanks Paul! When you say wider, do you mean the stance will be wider? I have already acquired the ball joint adapters.
    Edit...just acquired the 94-95 spindle with the dog leg!
