Design/Construction:

These Spindles are created from modern steel alloys, then finish machined for consistent geometry and mounting positions. The overall design is based on Ford’s proven ‘70-’73 disc brake spindle, known for it’s stouter, flowing design with minimized stress concentration areas. The later disc brake spindle style was chosen for its preferable caliper mounting arrangement and large bearing size.

In addition to the strength of the reinforced areas around the caliper mounting bosses, the caliper bracket also acts as a diagonal brace, triangulating the spindle assembly. We offer aftermarket disc brake systems to best utilize this mounting configuration.

Install Note: This later model spindle can be adapted to your early model Mustang by utilizing a 1969-1973 outer tie rod, spindle nuts, and changing out your wheel bearings and races to the later year model.

Ordering Note: If ordering a Wilwood brake kit from us with your spindle kit you will need to place your order for the 70-73 Mustang Wilwood Brake Kit.

Technical Notes

The spindle can be used with most compact and intermediate sized 60’s and 70’s Ford/Mercury vehicles due to common upper and lower ball joint tapers and spindle height.

However, the larger spindle pin and outer tie rod taper, redesigned axle flange, and caliper mounts require brake system upgrades for earlier vehicles.

OEM disc brakes from ‘68-’73, with upright-to-steering arm caliper bracket, can be used. (Granada-style spindle modification required) OEM hubs from ‘68-’69 must change to ‘70-’73 wheel bearings, with larger 1.377” and .865” bore sizes.

The use of ‘70-’73 Mustang or ‘75-80 Granada outer tie-rods or bumpsteer kit is required.
Six-cylinder tie-rod adjusting sleeves prior to 1965, measuring .500” OD (1/2-20), must convert to TCP rack and pinion OR OEM V8 steering systems with .688” OD (11/16-18) sleeves.
