88 vs 90+ Spindle?

[C-H55Blasty]

Are the spindles from the 88-89 interchangeable with spindles from 90+? If I remember correctly they have different style A-arms but I don't know what those differences are or if that affected the design of the spindle.

I think the 88/89's had pinch bolts top and bottom
90+ has pinch bolt top, castle nut bottom

I wouldn't try to mix-match them

The spindles are all the same from 88-02. All Blaster A arms are the same, except, for maybe something different about how the cables VS. brake hoses mount. Doesn't make much difference, but just how it was done.

Warriors are different.

87 warrior had a 1 inch longer swing arm, different a arms etc. I think they changed in 90.

Not much changed on the blasters. I've been digging up as much info as possible too.

yeah, i'm not buying they're all the same, neither is the parts fiche on bikebandit or ronnies atv

1988 front wheel/spindle diagram shows a pinch bolt to hold the ball joint to the pinch bolt style spindle
top and bottom

1990 + shows a castle nut to hold the ball joint to the spindle bottom and pinch bolt top

I stand corrected. 1988 is a year all by itself. I have a 1989 and it has the castle nut bottom. Looking more closely at the part numbers, 89-02 is all the same. 88 is a different part number. Sorry.

Thanks guys! You really cleared that up for me.
