Just want to say thanks to you guys for replying and giving some input. Today I was able to pick some spindles locally thanks to Jamcar223. Now for the hard part of installing them. Again thanks to all.

it's not very difficult to replace them, you can rent for free the ball joint separator from your local store

Do yourself a favor and change the ball joints while it's apart unless your's are like new. If you intend any type of performance, then look into the taller ball joints that correct the terrible G-Body geometry as well.

Really glad to hear you found what you needed quickly and close to home!!

I have the ball joints and tie rods... “taller ball joint” does go in the top or the both top and bottom?

if you want to maintain stock ride height stock height ball joint in the bottom, a lower tall ball joint drops the ride height. What you want to do is to get the upper control arm point up instead of down. When the upper is point down the camber gains positive camber when that corner is under compression until it passes the middle of the arc before it gains any negative camber. You want the upper pointing up so when that corner is compressed you gain only negative camber which is what you want when cornering
 
Nice to meet Rigo today, and he was actually driving his Cutlass. Good to see it on the road.
