I know lots of guys on here used Aspen spindles just wondering what all do I need to do to get it going. I bolted the spindles on but the tires lean in on the top how do I fix this is it ball joint. Does anyone have build pictures or links.

Is the weight of the car on the tires? Did you roll the car back and forth several times to allow the suspension to settle?

The Aspen spindles are known to be shorter than the originals but any out-of-spec camber should be able to be corrected with a front end alignment.

Someone posted on this site a source for extra long ball joints that might help, I'll see if I can find them.
