CAN I USE MY GEN 1 UPPER CONTROL ARM SPINDLES...

when im upgrading to gen 2 suspension. my gen 1 has the greasable spindle ends my gen 2 lacks them.

so... i want to use my gen 1 spindles with gen 2 control arms and gen 2 pretty yellow bushings

do-able? thanks fellas.

Looking for that thing i just had in my hand...
Gen 1 UCA's have metal on metal bushings and Gen 2's have the large rubber bushings, that's why there are no grease zerks. Pretty much silicone them on installation and you're done, you could drill and tap for grease zerks if you wanted but only the outer rubber or poly is exposed so a spray silicone does the job just fine.
 
ive not unbuttoned my gen 1.
are telling me the front upper bushings are metal sleeve roller bushings? no rubber. bushings likewe used in track cars in times past?

then this: silicone them on innstallation, meaning to silicone lube the spindle to inner sleeve bushing.
im a bit confused thx
david
