Thread: Need a hearst airheart brake specialist if there is one? Ordering rotors

Theres provisions on the spindle which looks like it may have been off a GM for a caliper, though Im thinking a regular caliper isnt going to cut it on there.

Are you actually driving that car with the hairpins and clevises bent like that? They are supposed to be a straight line back to the frame bracket. The hairpin is a problem, but that clevis - it will eventually fracture at the nut - and you know how much protection you have in a 'bucket - zip.

Also - the tie rod should be in front and lower then the axle and the caliper at the top side of the spindle. The drag link is at the scrub line. If you had a blowout there would be absolutely no control. I hate to be a naysayer, but that entire front end is a disaster waiting to happen - to you!!!. Take another look at mine - that's the "correct" and safest way without going into lots of specialty work.
