Hey Guys, I will be picking up a Granada 5-lug disc setup this weekend for the front of my Mav. I am going to go ahead and order new front wheel bearings for these to put on when I get them. Is there anything else...seals or anything on the front of these spindles that might need replaced while I have them off? I can't say that I've really ever looked at a pair of these spindles before, so I'm not sure exactly what is on there. Thanks, Later
bearings, seals and new cotter pins sould do it. are you putting on new rotors? if not you will need to turn the old ones...and a set of pads...frank...
Thanks Frank, Yes, I am going to have the rotors turned. They looked like they were in decent shape on the car. Just surface rust. I already have the new brake pads and wheel bearings ordered (actually they are already at the parts store, I just haven't had the chance to pick them up yet.) I will also get new wheel bearings and the inner and outer seals for them. I don't see any reason not to replace them since I already have them apart. Thanks, Later
Maxx I'm in the throws of doing the conversion also, I can't get the lower control arm/ball joint bolt off the drum spindle so I'm goin to get a lower control arm kit tomorrow along with new tie rod ends and upper ball joints...crap...I may as well replace the sway bar link bolts while I'm at it...hell I'm gonna have a party and replace the front shocks too. It's gettin late....
since you are in there, don't forget to get new tierod ends. tell the store what year granada your spindles came from.
Tie rod ends? did I mention I'm doin the sleeves too? I'll be a front end pro by the time this is over Now where did I put that alignment rack?
A prime example of Murphy's Law! Seems no project can be done without Murphy! Better check the headlight adjustment while you're at it, too.
