Front End Unsprung Weight

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind weighing the disk spindles?

Thanks for this info and the reminder to check travel. Back when I did the Dart's IRS, the travel issue bit me and I had to up the spring rate.

The only advice I was able to find back then was to have enough spring and travel to absorb a 1G bump. It seemed to do the trick. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks again, this info saves me a bunch of time.

Here's some of the weights. I don't have the weights for the spindles or brakes, although, that also depends on which brakes you're running, they aren't all the same (67-72 disks, 73+ disks, 9" drums, 10" drums). I have some extra 73+ disk spindles and stuff laying around so I can get those weights tomorrow if you'd like.

Stock LCA's w/tabs, bushings and pins:.......21.2 lbs
Stock UCA's (73-76) with ball joints:.......................9.8 lbs
Stock strut rods 73-76 w/bushings:.............4.8 lbs
Stock tie rods & ends:...............................4.6 lbs (these will also count 50%)

Now, that's all measured with a bathroom scale taking the average of 3 measurements, so, some variation would be expected.
