Car: 1986 Plymouth Horizon (factory 13" wheels and 4 lugs)
Suspension: Koni Coilovers (purchased, not yet installed)
The Plan (parts in hand)
Knuckles: 93 Lebaron. Bolt in wheel bearings.
Brakes: 11 inch rotors w/ 60mm calipers and hawk pads (all 91+ car parts)
The knuckle width has been machined to fit the L-body strut already. I am to understand that one of the holes (preferably the top) needs to be slotted to correct the camber issue.
I finally got around to removing the factory knuckle to compare it to the Labaron one to see first hand what this camber correction issue is all about (this is obviously an error on my part) before i did any more machining.
First thing i noticed is the physical height difference between the two parts! Both holes for the struts are obviously much higher as well. Keep in mind, however, that this is a FOUR lug spindle. Not sure if there is a geometry difference between this and the factory 5 lug omni's. Left is factory, right is Lebaron.
Also, the hole for the ball joint bolt is much larger on the Lebaron knukles meaning i cannot run the L-body ball joint/bolt.......(which has been purchased and installed already)
Has any body successfully installed 91+ knuckles on an L-body before?
Is this height issue going to screw me? (assuming i can resolve the camber issue?)
Can I run Lebaron ball joints in the Horizon A arms?
Hopefully I didnt waste all my time/money and effort into this.
As always thank you for your help.
