Banshee spindles on a blaster

[mmajay]

I know there are a few who done this to use the banshee front hydros. I really dont want to spend money on norman spindles if i can use the complete banshee front end i have for free. What do i have to do to make the spindles work? I heard ream one of the holes to fit the blaster ball joint. Top hole or bottom??? I have metric reamers.

I searched and didnt find anything but i know i read of people doing this. I cant remember who used theses spindles. I havent tore my front end off yet to see the diferance but trying to prepare my banshee stuff so when my a arms are done Powder coat i can have a smooth transistion.

i beleive you ream the top mount, and possiby drill for the locking bolt , and they also have to be 1990 +, before that was j-arm, it has also been said they are weakened by the reaming, if i was gonna cheap out after all his journey, critical susspension wouldnt be the place

you have to ream them, and then drill the top of them out for a pinch bolt, not an optimum solution at all.


now if you get aftermarket a arms, you can just get ball joints that they use for the banshees and bolt on and go!

I decided to go with the banshee spindles and use banshee heim joints instead of buying new spindles, it was a cost factor, i called ASR before they sent them to powder coat so it wont cost any more money for banshee hardware.

I did the banshee spindle mod and drilled and tapped the top mount. I have no problems or fears of them breaking.
