Speedway Motors is proud to introduce our exclusive 3-piece 1979-Up GM Metric midsize spindle. Our advanced engineering techniques allowed for the recreation of an OEM spec spindle in a newly forged, heat-treated steel design that is stronger than the original.

Works great with our 1979-Up GM Metric Front Brake Rotors, bearings, calipers, etc.

Overall Assessment

Customers widely appreciate the product for its standout durability, excellent heat resistance, and practicality in racing conditions. Its installability and perfect fit were repeatedly noted, offering a worthwhile alternative to stock spindles. The sturdy construction makes it a reliable choice, evident in the reviews where customers expressed intentions to re-order and positively compared it with one-piece counterparts. Its compatibility with existing assemblies is also valued, despite minor modifications needed for larger ball joints. The product's innovative design allows for easier repairs, especially its built-in spindle saver. Although some customers found it challenging to ream for ball joints, the product's robustness outweighed this inconvenience.

Better than factory

I read reviews about how hard it was to ream. I had no problems. Just go slow and use lube. I used pb blaster. It was harder than stock to ream but first night out got tagged in the R/R pushed into the wall and it did not bend! I'm sold!

larger ball joint beware

If you use larger ball joints beware these are extremely hard and nearly impossible to ream with a hand drill. 2 reamers later I have only progressed about 1/8 inch.

So, these would be a direct replacement if I were to use them on a G-body car, would my stock spindles and brakes fit it? Thanks

How long are the standard steering arms, supplied with this kit? (I see that previously it was said that 5" arms are available as well.) Can the steering arms be switched, side to side? My goal would be to use these for a Pro-Touring car and switch the arms side to side for more Ackerman. Are there any other caliper brackets available for these spindles, at this time?

Do you offer your 3-piece metric spindle kit with the 7 degree taper for the upper ball joint and a 5/8" hole in the arm for a Heim tie-rod? (Long arm for metric car) I saw you do offer the center section in the 7 degree upper taper but I would prefer to order this as a kit than piece meal it all together.

I put these on stockcar 79 cutlass and they fit great but i have noticed that there is nothing for the steering stops on the lower control arms to hit so the tires are rubbing the lower control arm, do you sell something that can prevent this?

by Adam

Do you offer a steering arm that is not as strong as the one that comes with the kit? Instead of the arm bending, other parts of the steering bend or the bolts sheer off, leaving us with no steering at all. Given that it is a 3 piece design, I expected the arm to still bend when you hit something and to replace that one piece of the assembly, but instead I am shearing the bolts off completely, loosing my steering and having to exit the race. I would prefer a smaller, lighter arm that will bend and allow me to continue the race and then replace the steering arm after the race.
