But thats just the start of the nightmare.<br />But the spindles will work. You can buy rear steer racks so you dont need to change out your oilpan for it to clear. And dont need to swap the spindles to the other side.<br /><br />Either way it is not the easist project in the world but it is doable. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
