Will the 1971-1973 Mustang disc brake spindles work on a 1970 Mustang?

Kinda. About the same as a Granada spindle will work on a 65 Mustang. Sorta the same, but there are slight geometry changes. Why?

Yes indeed. All are same fit, Geometry, Size, on and on.

The Original 70 Mustang/Cougar/Torino 70 Spindles were DOZA--3108 Driver, 3107 Passenger.

FORD Made a Tweek in the Spindle somewhere (Haven't found it yet), then numbered these D1ZA Spindles--Same as side.

No, there were no Torino Spindle numbers , As DOOA 3107, 3108, or D1OA 3107, or 3108.

Ford used the Z (Mustang on all 70-73 Mustang, all 70-71 Torino, Montego, Falcon.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all. I can get a full setup spindles, discs, calipers, backing plates for my 70 Coupe under $100 off a 72 that is local. Just hope they are 5 lug.

All 71 cars should be 5 lug.
