NOW Im having trouble!The damn Spindle will line up to the bottom bolt that connects to the SHOCK but the Top hole WILL not line up to put the other bolt !

I believe the outer bearings are the same but the inner bearings are different.

if your front struts are still stock from the 4cyl stuff, you won't be able to bolt them to v8 spindles.


the control arms are the same, but the spindles and struts are different.


good luck homey
