Steering Arms *bonehead move* CPP drop spindle/disk brake kit
Permalink  

Hi all - figured it was time to upgrade the front end on my 63 Parisienne with CPP's drop spindle/disk brake conversion kit via Summit Racing. Took off the old spindles, replaced the ball joints, and everything bolted on nicely. Went to connect the tie rods, but the kit uses the OE steering arms. Too bad the scrap metal guy cruised by on garbage day and took the old hubs I left for him no, not getting the chance to unbolt them. 

Anyways, other than an Impala, is there an era of vehicle (preferably within NAPA's range) of equivalent steering arms I can track down that would fit OE? Haven't had much luck in my area with knowledge or anything new online.  

Happy to pass on any info on the kit too - will put up a before and after pic when my technology cooperates. Thanks!

J

Just look up Chevrolet parts, at least 61-64 and likely 59-60 too.

Check Rockauto and see if they have what you need. Cdn Poncho also has a rockauto discount code.

Thanks - I was confident in 59-64' chevy (confirmed by CPP) just wanted to make sure no subtle differences or changes before I put the credit card down.

Rockauto has oe part numbers too if you want to cross reference anything and all the x frames, Cdn Pontiac and Chev, have the same front ends and rear ends. 58 can have a few different things, never had one so not sure what was different.

In the 58 the rear axle carrier has a wishbone type upper control arm. I think the front is the same as 59-64.
