Usually this kind of a modification (in my hot rod experience at least)has more to do with steering interference. As stated above, heat the arm cherry red with a rosebud, bend slowly, air cool. For best performance, try to match the origional orientation between the hole and spindle shaft. As also stated above, dropping the arm will shorten it, relative to the amount of drop, and may change steering geometry. Be sure to keep your ackerman geometry (type into search engine), and if safety is a concern to you, have the spindles magnfluxed afterword. BTW...what kind of a spindle is it? My experience is with early Ford parts. Good luck.
