Re: A little help with drop spindles

gm never made on. if it looks like a stock style cast spindle, it may be a belltch spindle since they did produce them some time ago. the difference would be that the spindle snout (part the rotor/wheel goes on) is moved up in relation to the lower balljoint.

post a pic if you can and we may be able to help more
