well if it went off with out any promblems I would just showed up and had pics but the parts god does not like me . :gripe::gripe:

story goes like this ok i get both spindal and calipers off a 1998 Camaro 75.00 , good deal ok check out claipers ,bleeders screws good , paint caliper nice, painted spindal .:tapfoot:

Get all parts like hunting down brake line washers ,brake hard wear kit. Wrong get them on frigging banjo bolt stripps out caliper now junk , now i have to buy calipers ,man it came with all that stuff -man so pissed , should of just got new calipers from the get-go lesson leard , advice to any one think off doing the swap.
,driver's side .now the upper control arm bushing's driver's side wiped out great . Just aggravating so much for a simple job. now sawpping out bushings:sFun_bananacolors::sFun_bananacolors:
