Spindle and Power Steering (Page 1/1)
DefenderMG23 NOV 03, 02:23 PM
Does anyone know some information about swapping spindles on the 84-86 GT in order to change rotors/hubs and brakes to something more common and easier to obtain. I am thinking about the power steering modification using Camaro/Firebird steering rack and an electric power steering pump from maybe a Volvo. PS is a wife request, hubs would give additional options for wheels etc. Your guidance and knowledge of the subject would be appreciated.

It's too bad something like a Mustang II front end isn't made.

There was a member named BubbaJoe who installed Corvair hubs on a car that he was building, but it's been a while.
I have no idea what else he changed in order to accommodate the Corvair hubs (which also, coincidentally, worked with really common GM wheels. Specifically Corvette and Camaro.)

Thanks Sound and Raydar. Appreciate the information.

I own an 88, but have had several pre88. I did not know the 84-87 was hard to find?

Sh!t... Those would be even tougher to find...

There doesn't appear to be any shortage of choice for front 84-87 rotor/hub.
