64 Vette and 64 Impala spindles the same?

[Skip FIx]

I know you can swap Vette spindles on the control arms but sme bearings/hubs? I have an extra Impal front disc kit and a buddy with a 64 Vette with drums that could use it. Both seem to use same bearings inner and outer.

63/64 Vet use 1959 Impala spindles, 59-64 same
If you use the entire kit it's critical which kit. If it's a kit that uses the 5514 Chevelle rotor you won't be doing him any favors as that kit moves wheels outward 3/4" per side, bad news for a Vet

Got ya. I think i have a kit for 14" that has a spacer on the back side of rotor on the spindle and one for 15" I got from you.

Any better kit for the vette? 15" wheels probably ion the future.

The kit for 14" Impala is the good kit, I sell it for 63/64 also, fits Vet stock 15" wheels, ZERO OFFSET. I advise to install calipers to the front for a Corvette as the calipers supposedly hit the Vet steering arm if installed to the rear. Vets have calipers to front side anyway.

Thanks. That spacer at the back just worries me.

Are we talking about my kit? If so, the spacers move the rotor out about an 1/8" to line it up with calipers but the main reason is for the grease seal . They just sit there, no idea why that would worry you

I am pretty sure that 65 (1st year for Corvette front disc brakes) through '82 will fit x rames. My '59 Elky has Corvette spindles for iits front brakes, Mike would know for sure.

63/64 Vet are exactly same as 59-64 Impala. 65 and up are not the same. They will bolt to Impala ball joints but you must use the complete Corvette brakes with them. And those 4 piston Corvette calipers are ancient history.

 

[Skip FIx]

Yep your kit. Just worried the spacer would change where the bearing rides on the spindle.

"And those 4 piston Corvette calipers are ancient history."-Leakers! I think Wilwood makes a bolt on replacement.
