Note also that your driver side spindle has a hole bored in it for the speedometer cable. Be sure the replacement has this feature. The passenger side spindle will not have this.

Hey guys. Thanks for your answers.
But first i have to check if
a) the items are the same as a cutlass
or
b) ONLY 1965-66 Jetstar 88 spindles work. NOTHING else fits
What is right?
And any ideas where i get the spindles?!
The Spindle is a little bit damaged because the bearing was damaged. But however that is not the main problem. The main problem is, the bolt of the spindle is no longer straight. it is bent upwards. This has the consequence that on this side of the vehicle (the right side) the car has a knock-kneed leg (X-Leg). I hope you understand what I mean by that. As a result, the breaking effect is not sufficient. Because the brake shoes do not brake on the full shoe surface. And the car pulls to the left when braking. As a result, I don't get a TÜV (a german instution. You have to go all 2 years to the TÜV and they are looking that the car is save enough. And if not it is not allowed to drive the car)

thanx for your message. I have replied it.
@ deaddds:
thanx for your pictures. I had written an email to you but got no answer. Can you send me a private message on this forum? Are the spindles okay?

I appreciate that effort, but again be aware that the further you get from the model year, the greater the likelihood that the parts you're interested in were dropped from the parts network. I have a copy of the Sept 1968 book, for example. There's also a Jan 1972 version available online at gmpartswiki.com.
