quick question

are the lower arms interchangeable between a 68 and an 80? specifically the shaft diameters.
TIA

Re: quick question

Those arms are interchangeable, the only thing that will not be is the lower balljoint if you are still using the 68 spindle. If you have a 71 or newer spindle (disc brakes) the 80 balljoint will work.

Re: quick question

yep you should be fine. Like I said the big thing to make sure that your balljoints match the spindle you are using.
