Default Re: Front Wheel Cylinder bolts

Thank you Ken for taking your time for responding, really appreciate it. First the easy, the wheel cylinders holes were the same, both new and old and big enough to fit the larger bolt. The actual bolt thread size is 3/4" for the driver's side and 9/16" on the passenger side. So each spindle was drilled and tapped to those sizes. I have a thought, maybe because my truck had the factory power assist it puts more force on the hinge points of that spindle necessitating the larger upper anchor point???? I'll get some pictures to attach.
Thanks Steve
