Spindles & Parking Brakes

You can’t find a better rear spindle than what we offer. These are drop forged and produced to the exact appearance and dimensional specifications, but with superior metallurgy to the original part. As you know, the rear spindle / bearing assembly has been the Achilles heel of these C-2 and C-3 Corvettes. The design was ahead of the materials. Now the materials have caught up. By the way, in case you are wondering why we should show a C-4 Corvette on our 63-82 Corvette website; its is actually the same 80 Corvette pictured on the top of the 80-82 Diff page. We rebodied it in 1988 to run the car in the Dallas Grand Prix Trans Am race. We finished 7th.
