You will need to swap the entire upright (steering knuckle) assembly. While the LT1 and LS1 hubs have slightly different ABS connectors, an LS1 hub is "universal" and will fit the cables on an LT1. So, you can keep your hubs if you want to, but everything else must be swapped.

You do not need to change the control arms or tie rods, but while you are swapping it might be a good time to check your bushings, ball joints, etc.

Thanks for the info guys. I already have LS1 brakes here, which i would be using on my 3rd gen if i keep it. If i end up with an LT1 car, i may as well go Vette, and just use these on my 3rd.

Thanks!
