Not sure where to go from here, and you seem like a pretty smart fella. Thanks for taking the time to reply the first time, but if you have some wisdom on what I should do now I'd appreciate it!
I ordered some but I'm pretty sure they wont work, the new ones aren't recessed for the bolts to the tie rod? and both shapes look completely different.
That's because factory type spindles don't use countersunk bolts like your aftermarket drop spindles did- they use a hex head bolt to attach the lower ball joint.
But be aware that the correct bolts have a thinner head than standard bolts, to give them sufficient clearance to the rotor. Many aftermarket bolts do not.
Two solutions:
Have a shop turn down the heads a bit (maybe by a third?) to get the necessary clearance.
Or
Place an ad in the "Parts Wanted" section for some factory originals- they show up fairly often in the Parts For Sale section, too- a quick search there may turn some up.
