Speedway Motors is proud to introduce our exclusive 3-piece Short Arm Metric replacement spindle to be used in conjunction with the 1979-up GM Metric front brake rotors, bearings and calipers. Our advanced engineering techniques allowed for a redesign of the spindle in a newly forged, heat-treated steel design that is stronger than the original. These spindles serve as a replacement for cars currently running Pinto/Mustang II setups. The 8 degree pin inclination not only improves handling and driver feel, but also dynamically adds cross weight to the car during counter steering which leads to increased drive off the corner. The shortened, dropped steering arm reduces spacing requirements on outer tie rods and minimizes bump steer while improving overall strength.

Accepts '79-Up GM Metric rotors, calipers, stock tapered lower ball joints and is reamed to accept 7 degree upper ball joints. The unique three-piece construction provides for fast, convenient and affordable replacement of individual components in the event of a crash. These spindles are IMCA/USMTS/USRA/UMP/Wissota approved for use in competition.

Kit includes spindle, bolt-on "short" steering arm, caliper bracket and necessary hardware. Assembly is required. Choose (L) Left or (R) Right side.

Works great with our 1979-Up GM Metric front brake rotors, bearings, calipers, etc.

  • IMCA approved for IMCA Modifieds and Sport Mod divisions
  • USMTS/USRA/UMP/Wissota approved
  • Forged, heat-treated steel
  • Improves front end geometry
  • Replacement for Pinto spindle
  • Three-piece design for quick, easy replacement

Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate the product’s robust and well-thought-out design; it's deemed superior to factory versions, with replaceable parts enhancing its lifespan. The quality machining ensures durability, with users running it for several seasons without issue. However, adjustments for lower ball joint fit and the absence of a short steering arm adaptor for the standard tapered tie rod hole were noted. Nonetheless, many are pleased enough to repurchase, applauding its practicality, design, and the competitive price.

I needed to ream the lower ball joint hole to fit my current screw in ball joint since the spindle did not allow the castle nut to come down far enough to allow the cotter pit to be used. Other than that I am happy with the fit and finish of the spindle. If i could change one thing it would be that Speedway offered a short steering arm for this with the standard tapered tie rod hole or at least an adaptor to utilize the stock tie rod, as some classes mandate.
