All vanagons use the same ball joints and control arm mounts (bushings). While thing are a part consider replacing those and also the radius rod mounts and sleeves.

Subject: Swapping out bad spindle/s

Hi Vanagoneers! Another issue with Velma my most enjoyable money pit!! I am
currenly swapping spindles/hubs due to po's lack of everything!! I noticed
different casting marks on the spindles? I believe the donor was an 83 I
hope!! If not I know the upper balljoints just bolt in to the upper A frame
control arm. The question is the lower balljoint,is it the same size on the
spindle? I know they changed the lower contol arm in november 84? Since Im
in there now I figure its best to replace upper lower and inner outer
balljoints and bushings including strut arm bushings for less to worry
about/knowing its all good!! Any help would be nice since my bentley seemed
to be lacking part#s to refer to!
