Improved Handling and Stance with RideTech’s New Tall Hub Spindles for GM A-, F- and X-Bodies

If you’ve been looking to improve the performance and handling of your classic GM A-Body, F-Body or X-Body, Ridetech recently launched their Tall AFX Hub Spindles specifically for these popular applications. These new RideTech Tall Hub Spindles deliver looks and handling:

• Lowers your vehicle 2-inches without any changes to the rest of the front suspension components. The drop is accomplished by the design of the hub spindle itself
• Maintains appropriate suspension geometry.
• Taller hub spindle design (1.75-inch taller) allows improved negative camber gain through suspension travel and roll center – two critical components when it comes to improved handling

These improvements are also realized without altering the vehicle track width. If you are already utilizing an existing Ridetech pin spindle, these are a great options as you can upgrade to these hub spindles with no issues as they share the same geometry.

These Tall Hub Spindles are destined to last the life of the vehicle thanks to their high tensile ductile iron construction and durable black e-coat finish. Best of all, these hub spindles fit a wide variety of the A, F, and X-body platform cars, whether they are equipped with stock steering arms or are already upgraded to our Ridetech TruTurn systems. This is accomplished thanks to a design feature that includes a “flippable” threaded steering arm insert.

Depending on what vehicle you have and what steering arms are installed, the insert can be installed in a “top” or “bottom” position, achieving wide fitment and adaptability across the following platforms:

• 64-72 A-Body (Chevelle, Skylark, Cutlass, etc. with stock steering arms)
• 67-69 F-Body (Camaro and Firebird w/ stock steering arms or TruTurn)
• 68-74 X-Body (Nova, Acadian w/ stock steering arms or TruTurn)
• 62-67 X-Body (Nova, Chevy II with Ridetech TruTurn system)
• 63-82 Corvette (using Ridetech TruTurn system)

If you’re looking for a one-stop shopping experience, RideTech has also designed a complete Wilwood Superlite kit that comes with everything needed including 6-piston front Superlite calipers and 4-piston Superlites out back along with 13-inch drilled and slotted rotors front and rear.
