The spindle is the part that the rotor or brake drum attaches to and I suppose you could call it an axle too, you think I don't already know that?????? It's all one assembly you can call it a knuckle or what ever you want to I don't need you to play Mr. know it all these assemblies are commonly called spindles. I asked that question as to the applicability of the spindles included in their kit to inline tube and their tech guy told me they were factory 1970 spindles. I guess that may not be correct so I have no idea what they are. There are a few reasons why people like taller spindles as it affects how the vehicle corners and handles but in my case the 65 is my drag car and more travel equals better weight transfer on launch and yes it will give me more travel with a taller spindle. I'm currently stuck in Tokyo for a few weeks on business but when I get back home I will take a good look at those spindles on the 67 and take a couple pics and post them and maybe someone can help me figure this out. I appreciate everyone's comments and setting me straight on that that all factory 64-72 spindles are the same.

OK, the suspension would have some additional travel before the bump-stop hit the upper arm, if the steering knuckle was taller. Now that makes sense to me.

Close but no cigar if you are only talking about Pontiac A Body spindles and do not split out the disc brake spindle (different upper BOSS height) vs the drum brake spindle boss height. (How far the boss thickness outward is).
