Hello,

I had my UCA's ripped off by a scammer/welder and am going to order some new ones tomorrow. I'm on the fence about going to the bigger balljoint/spindle setup for a couple of reasons:

1. I just renewed my entire stock brake system (Drums) and everything is working great. Will the newer spindles still work with my 10" drums or will I have to upgrade to discs?

2. I also just refreshed my entire front end suspension. Will I also have to replace my lower ball joints to work with newer spindles too?

Thanks in advance,

Don't go with the big Balljoint UCA unless you are switching to BBP discs. Someone should be able to help you out with a pair of standard UCA.
 
1. I don't believe they will work someone correct me if I'm wrong.

2. Your current lower ball joint will not work with the big ball joint spindle.
 
yes, bbp=big bolt pattern. yes you need new lower ball joints with disc brake spindles....your current drum brakes will not work with disc brake spindles because they use a different wheel bearing, which are bigger...
