    I have committed to buying a standard steering center link and pitman arm from a '75 Mav for my car. It didn't occur to me to ask before (most Mav steering and suspension parts seem to interchange from year to year), but now I'm having some doubts. Will these pieces fit my '73? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. John B.

    I failed to mention that I'm using Granada disc brake spindles, in case that makes any difference. Thanks again. John B.

    I have been going thru this same thing. It appears that they are different but if you got the whole linkage, you shouldnt have a problem. 70-74 are the same and 75-77 are the same. The difference seems to be how the pitman connects to the center link. I am not sure about the spindles but I assume it will work the only thing you may have to change is the tie rod ends. Can anyone else confirm this??
