Disc brake spindle needed casting # 329353

[njsteve]

Looks like I need a 329353 driver's side spindle in case anyone has one sitting on a coffee table somewhere. I believe that this spindle was used on just about every disc brake GM car from 1970 to 1976 (as well as the Firebirds). (I am working on Gramma's car and just found out that someone at Midas Muffler forgot to tighten the lower ball joint nut 30 years ago, after replacing the original with a later 1978 part).

Looks like there are a few on e-bay

Spindle


It does not look like they are the same as Chevelle spindles though.

There seems to be some confusion as to how many applications used this casting number. I figured I'd rather get one from someone here versus using ebay.

no luck..5 shops and no camaro/firebird parts...whats the world coming too?

a local salvage yard has one...i can pass the number if ya want it..$100ish shipped is what he told me...sounds high..but i cant find one..so maybe not..dunno

71-76 interchanges..camaro...firebird...malibu...and monte carlo...plus a few others if it helps..i dont know why 70 is diff..weird...77 up has a diff number too

my parts car is a 78...i dont know what the diff is...if i see something at the big swap meet in wichita friday, i can call ya if ya pass you number to me in a PM...good chance i will find it there...best swap in Kansas..

1977/8 was the beginning of the thinner casting version like the wrong one that just came off of Gramma's car.

I appreciate the legwork. I may have found one from one of the PY members who searched through her pile of old parts. It has a couple broken off dust shield bolts but that's no big deal, and it's even the correct year spindle.
