This may be a stupid question but are the LCA`s the same on a disk brake set up as a drum set up?  ( 69 charger) Thanks  Al

Yes, they are the same for all '69 Chargers - since all Chargers came equipped with a Sway Bar.  Having tabs for the sway bar links is the only "difference" in 1969 B-body LCA's, and the brake equipment option doesn't affect it.

I guess I should have went into more detail about my LCA question.  I picked up an 11 in. rotor and 4 piston front brake set up from a 68 Charger. I plan on putting them in my 69. Can I just swap out my LCA from my drum set up to the disc set up.  Thanks again.  Al

hemigeno

Yes, you should be able to do that.  The lower ball joints are the same between disc and drum brake cars just like the lower control arms are, however the four lower ball joint attachment bolts (2 on driver side, 2 on passenger side) are different. 

If you have the spindles and everything from there "out" to the rotor from the '68 donor car, you should be fine.
