Does anybody know if the 3rd gen front spindles can be used on a 2nd gen explorer? (both 4x4) The reason I'm asking is that the later ones are aluminum, whereas the 2nd gens are heavy cast iron. I definitely don't do any off-roading, so strength isn't an issue.
Mainly, is the geometery (overall height/hub location / steering arm location/etc...) and hub mounting the same? I'm pretty sure the ball joint taper is different, but that can be fixed with a tapered reamer or something.
