73 E body front disc brakes conversion on A body. Where did I mess up?
Look man, you’ve got a little extra metal on a lower ball joint. You can let it derail your entire project, or you can just grind it off and put the thing back together.
There’s no such thing as a “simple assembly of parts”. The parts are 50+ years old and had a wide range of tolerances to begin with. The replacement parts are made off blue prints or maybe even off a scan of some other old parts and then the dimensions are fed into machines that also have tolerances and the whole thing is put together by someone that’s never seen an old Mopar. Sometimes stuff doesn’t quite fit.
You’ve mocked it up, you can see what’s hitting, knock it down with a grinder until it clears and bolt it together. It would take less time than I’ve spent responding to this thread.
No, this is a knuckle
This is a spindle
And this is BOTH
So let’s drop the grammar police routine and not muddy up threads for no reason since we all know what part we’re talking about?
