49-54 spindles on straight axle help!
Gentlemen-
I picked up some 49-54 Chevy spindles to go on a straight front axle. The spindle is not perpendicular with the kingpin bore. How they go might be obvious; but there may be some physics at work I'm not familiar with. The question is... Do they mount to the axle with the spindles inclined UP <a href="http://www.brainvirus.org/project/spin_up.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.brainvirus.org/project/spin_up.jpg</a> ...or DOWN? <a href="http://www.brainvirus.org/project/spin_down.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.brainvirus.org/project/spin_down.jpg</a> Thank you!!!

Down.
Is your axle set up to use the Chevy kingpins? They are a different diameter than the Fords.

Envision the axis of the kingpin intersecting the exact point where the tire and ground meet. This will steer (excuse the pun) you right every time.
