OK so I had a bearing go bad and it wrecked my spindle on my 1985 weekender westy made in 2/85 (that is, it is not a late model 85)
I had a new spindle sent to me and it is not like mine it is smaller(not as "tall") and the spindle itself is less beefy, when I look around it looks as if I may have an 86-91 spindle? Mine sure looks like what all the vendors tell you to source when upgrading to the big brake kits.
I am quite certain that the spindle is stock, I have owned the van for 12 years and the previous owner I am sure never changed them. And I have always run stock 85 rotors on the front??
So I need some help so I can source the right part.
Thank you! Todd.
*My original spindle is on the Left and the one sent to me is on the Right*

BUMP, and to add a bit more I guess the overall question is: does this look like an 85 front spindle/knuckle or not maybe some of you could take a look on your vans and see what mine matches up to
again mine is the one on the LEFT.
Thank you all again. Todd. |

The spindle you have recieved does not belong on a vanagon. The one you took off is normal.

I would inspect the upright you pulled for a molded in part number, to match up. There are two uprights one for manual steering and one for power steering. I tried to look up the part number of both versions of left uprights, but both are nla on Vagcat.

| Looks like one that I pulled off my 65 bug. |
