Front suspension question

[hotrodaj_2]

I thought I read on here that the ball joints or spindles are different from the 88-89 to the 90 and above models. Is there and difference in the front ends, or other stuff for that matter. My chassis is a 89 with a 99 engine. Front end is stock and when I upgrade I want to buy the right stuff the first time.

I'm pretty sure they're the same. Someone will know for sure though.

they apparently are differences, i got a set of very good condition a-arms from holeshot in a trade, but they have pinch bolts for the bottom balljoints,
my 01 has castle nuts and cotter pins

Ya dude, my 89 has pinch bolts. Do you know what year they made the switch.

Bottom ball joints: 91 left, 89 right. I think 89 was the last of it.

This will make it easy breezy , buy a set of 03 hydro front brakes , hubs spindles and all , then get asr a arms , everything will bolt right up . my 2000 had castle nut bottom arms and pinch tops , I then bought the 03 brakes and ordered the +3+1 Long Travel arms and went on like it came that way . Just junk the factory crap .

Can you get aftermarket a arms to fit the 89 spindles? I might want those a arms awk, I gotta see how money is right now. I still wanted a couple jets too. Do you still have them? I hope a 88-89 chassis is not a basterd case. I hope their not a oddball.

lemme know on the arms, they're cherry, little paint off the bottom, balls tighter than a nuns a-hole, and boots look like new
stock jets or keihin ?????

Give me a week or so to find out if I can get a arms, the jets I need are Kiehin
