Title: 1976 Eldorado rear spindle
Post by: Roger Zimmermann on September 22, 2012, 05:06:28 AM
Hi all!

For a 1976 Eldorado, I'm searching a rear axle spindle with the bolts to attach it to the axle, as well as the lasge washer, nut and dust cap.
The spindle broke; this is the reason I'm looking for that part.

If it is the same as a 1973 Eldorado, I can help. Is there a difference between drum brakes and Disc brakes ? mine has drums

Plus, there is a difference if the '73 has the TrackMaster option.

Guys,
All 71 to 78 Eldo rear spindles are the same regardless of traction control. Be advised they are sometimes very hard to remove.
HTH, Bob

I thought the difference was that the TrackMaster Stubs have a hole through the middle, and the Non-TrackMaster ones were solid.

Bruce,
You're right. I had to look in  an earlier MPB.

Thank you to all. I was contacted by a seller loking at this forum, I ordered it yesterday. The car has no Trackmaster; this was no more available in 1976.
