Special Notes

Performance Steering Meets Proven 70–73 Mustang Spindle Design

The 1970–1973 Mustang spindle has long been a favorite upgrade among early Mustang builders—and for good reason. Compared to factory 64–66 spindles, these feature stronger steering arms, a larger pin diameter, and more robust wheel bearings, making them far better suited for today’s wider radial tires and higher cornering loads.

Paired with high-strength Proforged steering components, this kit improves steering precision, feedback, and durability. The result is a front-end foundation that feels confident at highway speeds, more responsive in corners, and capable of handling modern performance demands.


True Bolt-On Convenience—No Guesswork Required

Anyone who has pieced together a steering and spindle swap knows the frustration of incompatible parts and endless trial-and-error. This all-inclusive kit eliminates that problem entirely.

Every component is engineered to work together seamlessly, saving time, money, and frustration during installation. Whether you’re a seasoned Mustang builder or tackling your first 64–66 upgrade, this kit delivers a straightforward, reliable install with predictable results.


Built to Last with a 1 Million Mile Warranty

Proforged steering components are designed for extreme durability and long service life. Each part is backed by Proforged’s industry-leading 1 Million Mile Warranty for added confidence on the road.

Warranty registration and full terms available at Proforged.com/Warranty.

Why use 1970–1973 Mustang spindles on a 64–66 car?

The 1970–1973 Mustang spindle is a proven upgrade because it features stronger steering arms, a larger pin diameter, and larger wheel bearings.
