First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... In that case your arms are 100% wrong as they are pointing forward in the car, right? You have to use steering arms from Firebird (or Camaro) where the steering linkage is behind the front axle. Both the caliper and the steering arm should point rearward. I think you know this already but sometimes it can be good with a reminder...

Niklas, Thanks for this information. From this information, I learned two things. 1.) The arms that came with my disc brake setup are likely from a chevelle or other A-Body 2.) My original arms that with my car are probably mis-marked as it says on the website you gave me. So, I'm guessing my original arms will work fine. Old Joe In a message dated 1/26/2010 12:42:03 A.M.

Gents, I don't know how long we have access to the list, so I'm gonna use it now!! I have a completely rebuilt original disc brake system that I bought which was supposed to be off of a 68 Camaro with the 4 piston setup and 2 piece rotors. We're talking primo high dollar resto on this stuff. I'm putting it on my 68 bird, figuring it's the same thing. Tonight when I checked the part numbers, I notice that the part numbers on the steering knuckle arms (not the steering knuckle) are different, I'm talking about the steering knuckle arms that the tie rod ends attach to have different part numbers than shown in my 68 parts book. Oddly enough, the part numbers shown there say that the steering knuckle arms are for all cars including drum and disc brakes. Those numbers don't even match the original steering knuckle part numbers for my drum brakes that were on car. Anyway, the part numbers on my disc brake steering knuckle arms that I bought are 394568 and 394569. Can anyone tell me if these will work and if they are correct? The parts book says it should be 3916265 and 3916266 and it doesn't list different numbers for drum or disc brakes. Oddly enough those numbers do not match my drum brake knuckle arms either and I know they are original. The numbers on those are very hard to read, but they start with 24 and end with A and B. Is this some kind of Chevy funky part number conversion or what? I appreciate any input or pictures of the correct arms if anyone has them.
