I've tried Kragen and AutoZone and neither one carries them.

The spindles from any '82-'92 third gen F-bodied car will fit. Easy to find in almost any wrecking yard. New ones from GM are way too expensive for me.

Try the good ol' scrap yard, should run you no more than $50 for both.
I picked up a set in the boneyard for $20.00.

is it possable to bend a spindle?? I have rebuilt everything on the front end with the exception of the spindles. My car feels really loose on bumpy roads and it feels like the majority is coming from passenger side. When I was swaping out the struts I got the driver side on just fine but when I went to install the passenger side I had a little trouble slipping the strut onto the spindle it seemed almost like the spindle was maybe bent. I take it easy on the car now but use to take corner fast and hard. How easy is it to bend a spindle?? Is there anyway to check to make sure it's bent??

Possible if you smack a curb, etc.

More than likely, the strut was 'tweaked' a little bit where it mounts to the spindle--I've seen it a few times. 'Looseness' probably isn't a spindle.

I agree I don't think the spindle is going to cause it to feel loose. Have you checked the idler arm. They are really bad for causing looseness in the passenger side wheel.

here's what I have so far guys. I just installed a new Moog center link and idler arm. The tie rods both seem fine The whole front end has been rebuilt with polyurethane bushings the control arm and swaybar. I just replaced my KYB struts with Bilstein thats when noticed the fit problem.
Now on the rear end I haven't done a thing yet except replace the swaybar bushings and I still have KYB shocks installed. Now could haveing the front end stiff like it is and the rear still stock with the rubber bushings, could this maybe be the cause of it feeling loose. I also lack a Sub-Frame connector. It mainly feels loose while driving on rough roads mainly the freeways that we have here.

Check your ragjoint, aka "steering coupler". It's a rubber piece on your steering shaft right before it connects to the steering box. I had a lot of slop on my car and replaced every single steering part except that one. Then I noticed it one day, it actually had so much slop the metal parts were coming into contact. I had an extra steering shaft laying around from a Z28 Indy Pace Car, so I threw that in there and it was like a whole new steering system.

Can you buy these at any autoparts store, or would it be a deal only item?

is the ragjoint easy to see or do I have to take something off to get to it. My steering shaft has a plastic cover on it, do I have to take this off to get to it. And where can I purchase a ragjoint.
