LT1 Spindle fit LS1 car?

Would a spindle from an LT1 car fit and LS1 car?

The reason I ask is because I thought a little kid ran out in front of me so instead of hitting him I chose to hit the curb and drive up on the sidewalk.

Ended up just being a blue balloon floating across the road bouncing along. (Hey it was dark....cant be too careful. I do it again.)

So now I cant align my front exactly proper since the spindle is bent a little. The little bolt on the bottom wont slide any farther(to align the passenger side)

I found a good deal on a spindle from an LT1 car on ebay.

BTW when they say right side they mean passenger right? (lol why cant they just say driver or pass. side? duuuhh)

And is there anything else I might want to replace while its apart? Im a loyal follower of the "If it aint broke, fix it while your there" crowd.

Thanks guys

-Chris

The car Im asking about has an LS1. More people who know about LS1s would be in the "LS1" section than in "General". Thats why I put it under "LS1".

so sorry for being normal Must have forgotten to put on my "perfect" hat.

Normal has nothing to do with it. It has to do with being able to read and comprehend english. The "LS1" section that you talk about is the LS1 ENGINE TECH section. And as stated in the "read me BEFORE posting thread it is spelled out in the afore mentioned plain english that the sole purpose of the LS1 engine tech section is for, yep you guessed it, LS1 ENGINE technical questions. Front spindles are NOT engine parts.

Sorry Al, you caught me in a bad mood. Shouldnt have been so testy with ya.

I fully understand where your coming from but people post questions about LS1 cars here all the time....figured why not, because I would get a faster response.

Its in the past now though.... no hard feelings

I know you personally have chimed in on some of my threads with valuable information, and you probably have to put up with a lot of crap that I can just ignore...so you have the right to be a little snappy here and there. Its just the "" that got me at the time lol. (These smileys sure can be destructive lol)

(BTW I totally forgot that there was a suspension section lol....I thought you moved it to general tech )

Peace

EDIT: I just wanted to say that after reading your posts above, and mine....you and I would get along just fine in real life. I wish you lived in Houston we'd hang out and pick away at eachother lol.(Genuinely)
