[Tigers] [Alpines] Drop Spindles

[David Sosna]

Stephen--that was pretty good!

Marc, this might also help:

Look at picture #3.  It shows the spindle mounted higher on the steering 
knuckle than on the stock steering knuckle on the right.

Actually, the name 'drop spindle' is something I've found a bit misleading.
On a drop spindle, the spindle itself is mounted higher in order to drop 
the car down lower.
Seems counterintuitive.

Oh:

And this:

look at item #1 on the left--that's the steering knuckle--the pointy bit 
sticking out to the right is the spindle.

Best Regards
