I listers,

What is the difference between the steering knuckles and brake spindles? 

Anyway I have two of the late Vanagon spindles sitting in my shop.  They still have the rotors and calipers on them. 

        So, If I remove all the items what is the best way to prepare them for my forever van? 

I’m told they are cast iron.  So sand blast and then what? 

Also, does anyone know if the ball joints are in the full big brake kit from GW?  I want to do more good then harm in preparing them for a long life on my 85.

Thanks for any tips.

I”m now heading out to soak the bolts in PB blaster.

Best,
