Alright, just pulled the wheel bearings on my recently bought 510 to re-pack. It's a 71, but it turns out that the bearings that fit it are from a 68-69. Is there any special reason that someone would swap the spindles to older ones? Or is it just because they were in a pinch and only had access to older ones.

Also, I'm lookin' for a set of camber plates. What would work, and does anybody have a spare set in good shape that they're lookin' to part with?Rockin'.

I know the 280ZX struts and spindle swap si popular ont he dimes, but when dealing wiht these old cars you never really know what people did or why

The 68-69 struts are 1" shorter, so you can lower an inch with out losing any travel.
