modified s10 drop spindles to fit 1964 chevelle
Does top ball joint need be reamed ? Or will s10 ball joint fit the chevelle upper a arm ?
The S10 upper ball joints are a direct fit Bolt in , lowers will need reaming,
and tie rods.
What about the steering link do they fit
Good question I didn't cover the tie rod part of the install. I also ran 7 Degree Ball Joint Tapered Reamer on the steering arm/tie rod end hole,
mostly just to clean it up. If you are going with new tie rods it may not be necessary. I test fitted mine and seemed like it needed it .
This is the reamer I found on amazon I give it 5 stars.... google it

Also as far as steering goes , it seems better, definitely not worse, as far as braking goes way better.
I also suggest doing the quick ratio steering... youtube it

So can you just use the s10 rotor and caliper on the stock spindle if you want disc brakes but not the drop? Thanks!
Yes as long as you use the ball joint reamer tool s10
Or g-body brakes will work
This is a good setup for budget build or a low rider
@@realsteelmotorcars2894 Thanks, but I meant can I keep the stock spindle and buy a bracket and use the s10 rotor and calipers. I've read the s10 calipers are really small which would allow my old stock rims.
