So I was planning on upgrading the calipers per https://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/Brakes.htm#UpgradingOlder7XXBrakestoLater
9XXJumboBrakes. I got the calipers and their brackets off a 94 940 but then started having some thoughts:

1. Are the wheel bearings interchangeable? If not, are they specific to the spindle?
2. Would I get anything by swapping the spindle (I take that means replace the strut housing) besides being able to put ABS sensors?

    1. Are the wheel bearings interchangeable? If not, are they specific to the spindle?
    Yes between non-ABS cars. Same wheel bearings 700/900 cars.
    Not between 700/900 ABS cars. Different ABS tone rings.

    2. Would I get anything by swapping the spindle (I take that means replace the strut housing) besides being able to put ABS sensors?
    No.
