Thanks. What do those numbers read out as? I'll check them against my known '76 F150 arms and we'll know.
They're for sure Ford brakes, but you probably knew that already.

Thanks

Paul

620170, I looked on eBay and that is the number for the L spindle and 620169 is the R spindle for 78-79 Bronco/F150

Cool, so not a "custom" tapered hole you're dealing with. Just larger than a stock EB so the sleeves should be just the ticket.

Yes Sir, oh and by the way I KNOW for a fact I oriented the zerk when I installed the 3-way kit, my guess is the alignment shop did it but like you said even the pros arent always aware of how it should be.

you're always welcome my friend, I'm at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in Mockingbird Heights ;D

...decided to wait for the sleeves and boots before trying to rotate the zerk, especially since the tie rod (at least the left one) is flat against the steering arm, so wouldn't be able to get the tie-rod roll Paul was referring to
