[DeTomaso] Front upright question

[Forest Goodhart]

 The parts book shows right and left side the same for drilled and side specific for the earlier. I believe the only thing that makes them side specific is that one has a left hand thread and one a right hand thread. You should be good with what you have.

   All,

  I need to replace my left side front spindle and only have a good used
  spare right side.  Does anyone know for sure if left and right
  uprights/spindles have the same geometry?  Looks like the only
  differences is the bolt on arms for outer tie rod and reverse threaded
  spindle on the newer cars.  I have an early car with right hand thread
  on both sides anyway).

  Also, any place I could find torque spec for those tie rod arm
  attachment bolts?

  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,
  George
