most straight axles on the ends are just the middle piece. this has top and bottom pieces like the spindles would:

or do i need to change the axle the more common type? if we gotta change it i already know what i'm goign for. i'm just wondering and trying to save on parts, time, and aggravation.

Thanx for any and all help.

Pull the Wheel's off when you get a chance and take some more Photo's of that set up . Most Likely you can't do much with that stock set up with it's steering arms . Maybe the best you can do with that front axle . Is a Better front Drum Brake Set up . Speed way Sell's them . That's a Light car a Good set of front rear Drum Brakes will work fine .
