      Way to go CCrs! It's refreshing to see the good stuff spreading "out there".

      Ok, so, I am running these spindles on my 69 nova and they work great, save for the limited wheel backspace. Being ignorant of geometry issues, I got a set for my 1969 chevelle as well, so I am up a creek now. Would it be possible to redesign the steering arm or is it how it mounts to the spindle that creats the geometry issue?

      Yes, it is how it is mounted to the spindle.

      On a rear steer F/X body spindle, the tie rod has to go down the correct the bumpsteer issue inherent to the design.
      On an A/B/G body or front steer application it is the opposite. In this the drop arm mount would not help decrease bumpsteer. So the the need for a special steering arm was required. ATS does sell the required arm. So all is not lost.
