2 spindles - with caliper pins, spindle nut and washer
2 upper control arms - 2 lower control arms
2 dust sheilds and the center link is still useable

i will NOT ship them anywhere, they are too big, heavy and dirty - you'll need to come to my place on Indian Rocks Beach and pick them up.

i just COMPLETELY rebuilt the front end on my '86 elky (a BIG job for one guy using jack stands! 3 full days) - new ball joints, bushings, tie rods, idler, center link, shocks, rotors, calipers: everything from the pitman arm to the cotter pins on the spindles. before i did i went to the yard and got everything (from a cutlass that had the F41 suspension parts) had it all blasted clean, painted it up, had the ball joints and bushings installed, then ordered the rest.

if you are about to rebuild yours, you can have everything i took off - i can't leave it around long though, so let me know. here or johnedrogers@yahoo.com.

yes.. it really firmed up the ride, especially in a turn. now i GOTTA get new shocks and bags for the rear end!

Hi Ed. I'll take them! When might be a good day to pick them up? Where is Indian Rocks Beach? West Coast?

Sounds great! I sent you an email a couple days ago. I should be headed to Tampa to pick up some other parts this or next week. I'll double check to see if I have your phone number. Thanks.
