Suspension/Steering component difference, Drum vs. Disc
Case is 1965 Barracuda 273, drum/drum. I'm putting on a drum to disc swap that utilizes a caliper bracket that uses the original drum calipers and KH calipers. Looking into front suspension rebuild kits and I see different listings for drum and disc cars. I suppose I would be needing to stick with the drum suspension rebuild components because all else is the same for me except the spindle outward.
I'm interested in the "Why?". The parts list and p/n's looks exactly the same according to Kanter's site except for the ball joints. Are drum car ball joints REALLY different than a disc car ball joints? This is the only early-A I have ever owned and this seems foreign to me. I've also never had any other Mopar where I have had to specify between a drum/disc car when rebuilding a suspension. Is the difference in ball joint taper, length, diameter?
