Spindles or UCAs?

Got a lowered 06 Frontier. What should I do? Get spindles made or some arms? Gotta get this camber outta the front.

I know that is seems awfully convienient for me to keep preaching about spindles, being that I am the only one that builds custom spindles, but I promise, it's not the case.

A custom upper control arm will eliminate the camber at one point in the suspension's travel, but it will only cause other issues when you lift the suspension. The reason that spindles work is because, in most cases, the a-amr pivot points don't change, only the relationship between the ball joints and the spindle pin itself.

I trust ya bro. I have seen your work before so I know what you do is top notch, Im just tryin to stay in a budget. Ive done all the work myself so far but I am gonna have to outsource this. Can you reweld cast? I think Nislo is supossed to send you his spindles. Let me know what you come up with and if possible I will get you to fix me up

Adressed properly, cast can be successfully welded. I did talk to someone about building some 3" drop spindles for a Frontier, if we end up doing something for him, I will post them on here.

In stock form the upper and lower control arms angle down. This allows the travel up and across the best part of the travel that affects the camber the least. When you lower a suspension you change the angle of the control arms and this affects the camber most of the time negatively.

The lower you go the more out of whack the suspension gets I.E. Rangers.
When you add a dropped spindle you get back that much control arm angle which always helps. The more drop you build into the spndle the more good travel you get without adverse effects on the camber. It helps with negative camber and also camber change thru travel.

The reason arms help also is with balljoint angle. Down angled stock arms when layed out have the balljoints almost maxed out when at ride height. This allows binding before laying out in most cases. Tube arms for bags usually have the correct angle for layed out vehicles and bags. what is the correct angle?

When the truck is layed out the balljoints should be at or close to bottom lock, then as you raise the vehicle they go all the way across the travel to upper lock if you have enough lift.

Now most of the time STOCK balljoints will have plenty of travel if the angle is correct when the vehicle is layed out. Where most people screw up is thinking that they need uniballs or some other longer travel balljoint. They are nice to have and certainly look good but MOST of the time you can get all the lift you need with stock balljoints as long as the angle is correct to start with.
