Billet Aluminum Front Suspension Control Arms
I drew these up and made them quite some time ago. They would take a conventional racing type spindle and ball joint.

Note: These are made from 7075 premium alloy aluminum not the 6061 everyone else uses. This aluminum is as strong as mild steel.

The spindle I was planning on using is located below and you can order it with any type pin you need.

The conventional type pin can take multiple hubs and use a standard 5 x 4-1/2 bolt circle. You can also get any type of brake to use with it.

2 of the bushing sleeves are missing, but the rest have them. They must have gotten lost somewhere in their travels between here and Canada.

The bearings and locknuts are for the rear hubs. The locknuts are a mechanical type lock nut and will never come loose until you loosen the lock screws. If I remember correctly, a spacer needs to go in between the inner and outer bearing.

Everything has been sitting in my garage for 20+ years.

I want $850 (OBO) + shipping for everything you see here. Bonus item includes an aluminum slave cylinder bracket.

These parts will fit the Pantera front end and the ball joint holes are in the correct location for the stock spindle.

While I was going to go with an aftermarket type spindle, a Howe ball joint would be able to be adapted to the stock spindle. The Howe Ball Joints have selectable length studs to position the spindle in the correct position. I think the upper taper was Okay, but the lower taper would have had to be reamed to accept the screw in type ball joint.

I made those in about 1998ish. I was doing the Pantera convention in Las Vegas at that time. I got cancer shortly after that and had to sell my car and that is the reason I never used or finished them.

This is an example of what the aftermarket spindles and brakes look like. These are NOT included.
