    I have been looking for spindles to change over my drum brakes to disc. I called a local junk yard and they said I can use spindles from a 1984 mustang to use on my 70 maverick. Is this correct. I need to know before I spend the $$.

    That is incorrect. Totally different type of suspension.

    Nope, totally different design the Mustang has McPhearson Struts that attach to the spindle thus there is no provision for an upper control arm / balljoint to attach.

    Ask the junkyard to show you the Hollander Interchange Manual where this substitution is listed. :rolleyes:

    Your best bet is to find later Maverick or Granada disc spindles.
