[Chrysler300] Disc brake conversion again....

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

If you are using 1974 thru 1978 full-size spindles, then there should be no 
problems; the spindle should fit nicely into both ball joint studs, top and 
bottom.  There is a VERY SMALL difference in the taper of the holes, top and 
bottom, where the ball joint studs fit;  this means that you will have to 
use washers that are thinner than the fat original ones, in order to be able 
to get a cotter pin to fit thru the slots in the castle-nuts, and into the 
intended holes in the studs.

If the spindles are not fitting onto the balljoint studs, then you have the 
wrong spindles.
