WHY DO A FRONT END CONVERSION ?

Here are some great notes on why do a conversion From Bruce


There are lots of other reasons these hubs might be better:

1) Much larger front brakes and huge calipers
2) Completely sealed bearing cassettes...no maintance
3) Gets the front track in line with the rear without spacers
4) Rotors come off without disassembling the whole front hub
5) Better outboard CV joints that are readily available
6) Gets rid of lower A-arm weak outter end
7) Uses modern ball joints...heavier duty
8) Can design in all the caster you think you might want
Drawbacks...
1) To do it correctly, you need to move the upper A-arm mounts about 2" up or
will have radical neg. camber on jounce and rebound
2) New custom driveshafts, tierods and brakelines are needed
3) Brake balancer may also be needed

I'm sure there is more but this is the "Quick" list.
I have mine all mocked up but real work keeps getting in the way.
