I spent that last few days searching post but can find the info. So here comes the rookie question…

Is it possible to convert spindles with early link pins to late link pins? Or can early front trailing arms be sleeved like the late trailing arms to fit a 64-67 beam?

The reason for my ask is because I have a really nice set of hybrid 944 early bus spindles that I would like to install on a late 66-67 beam. Can it be done?

My apologies ahead of time for my lack of knowledge here but most of my cars are ball joint

Yes, you can put late king/link pins in early spindles, you must use it all, king pin bushings, king pins and links.
