Hello, I purchased the B-Body spindles from GM parts direct, and A-arms from Spohn. Im not sure if anybody has this exact setup.


I installed the drivers side components, It doesn't look correct.

Does the lower end of the spring look wrong in the picture? Im not sure if the spindles look like the B-Body ones.

I don't have the upper shims installed so the upper arm is a little loose too. The upper ball joint looks cocked , the seal is coming apart also. It looks too low, etc. My guess is that since there isn't any weight on the car, it looks this way. Any advice? Thanks.

Are those upper arms designed to function with the B body spindles?
