Is spindle in a same line as the balljoint? i'am putting the front axle to right wheel base and was wondering if i could take the measure from baljoint?

Due to castor angle ,the spindle is behind the ball joint.
slugmika
yes, factory castor is 6' but is the spinle in a center line of strut tube? Oh well, today i'll have change to measure that from original strut.
Thanks

The spindle is on the centerline of the strut tube, at an angle of 79.5 degrees (10.5 below perpendicular) if I'm not mistaken.

thanks Chris
I'll attach my front axle to chassis table today.
What do you say about front axle? should i put height in a factory settings which is 9cm from torsion bar center to ball joint? I'am going to raise the spindle 25mm and was thinking about raising whole front suspension by 25mm.

9cm is way too much. 3-4cm should be plenty. Raising both the spindle and pickups by 25mm is good.
