Differences between 3rd gen spindle vs LS1 spindle

Aside from the lack of caliper bracket, what is the difference in the lower ball joints? can you use 4th gen struts on a 3rd gen?

Side note: can you use LT1 spindles? are they the same as LS1 spindles?

Learn to use the feature here on TGO & you'd find that that questioned has been answered WAY too many times, for people who are not self-sufficient to use the search feature that TGO has built in.

In short.....NO, it cannot be used. No ifs/ands or buts about it.

YEP figured I'd get blasted for this. FYI did use the search couldn't find the reason other than "no you can't use it"

4th gens don't have struts.
