For the spindles some 84s had the power steering. I believe there is a split in 85 where the inner diameter of the outer bearing was changed. So for the early spindles you need to match the tie rod connection and the axle. For 86 and later the only difference is for the presence of power steering.

Not me, but the customer of a local shop. I don't have any spares for this, the early suspension version that I believe changed to all cast iron and power steering features in 85 or 86.

Anyone?

Thanks,
