Can anyone tell me if the disc brakes on 71-72 Chargers will fit a 69 Charger. The 69 has 17" aftermarket rims and power assist drum brakes right not.


terrible one

They should. I used the spindles and rotors from a '73 Charger on my '68 and everything is all good. Used '71 Challenger calipers too for what it's worth. The Charger calipers have a different spot where the brake hose connects and it hit when I was trying to use them IIRC.

The '71-'74 charger Spindles will work, the only difference being IIRC, is the fact that they are a bit taller because of the Rubber Bushings between the K frames on those cars....IT actually helps the front end alignment to be a little taller...

73 and up have the rubber bushings and different (taller) spindles.  71 and 72 should work since they do not have the isolaters.  (IIRC.)

the only diff between 66/69s and 70/72s are the sway bar bracketing. Rest is the same front end.

then 73s are diff monsters, BUT spindles can be used as stated with as far I know just some diff ride height deal

And you can adjust the ride height anyway.

ride height can be adjusted on any Mopar.
