    Ford 1" kingpin front steer spindle help

    Recently came across these spindles. Obviously a 1" king pin and the inner bearing journal is 1.785" which is correct size to run autofab/cone hubs. My question is, how can I tell if these are front steer spindles? There are a couple of threads about this subject but nothing about how to ID them. Any help would be great. thanx

    They are rear steer. Look at the Ackerman. (google Ackerman theory if you aren't familiar with it). You can modify the steering arm and run them forward...
    It won't fail because of me!
