Re: steering and spindle knuckle?

what are you trying to buy? The spindle/knuckle is the large cast piece that the rotor, strut, brakes ect bolt to.

Why do you need new ones? they rarely go bad. If you need different ones, your best bet is a junkyard/ebay/classifieds. New OEM ones are retarded expensive

Perhaps I've misunderstood your question. The 85 spindles will bolt up to your 91 with no problems (even the 1LE spindles are modified OE's).
