Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion
We are. A few different acronyms have been used over the years.
- Invert the LBJ. This will raise the ball center about an inch and more effective than moving the UBJ.
- By putting the stud boss in the LCA, the end of the LCA is shorter. The LBJ can also be further outboard/closer to the rotor without the end of the LCA contacting the rotor at full bump.
- You probably don't want to do this, but floating calipers allow the rotor to be closer to the wheel center, reducing scrub from a given wheel offset. The floater needs no more than the clearance required with a new outer pad. Fixed calipers are thicker outboard of the rotor to fit pistons.
- Design the arms to clear more rim offset and still have an adequate turning radius.
