 |
|
Anyone have a source for used spindles/knuckles? Trying to get my front end back together after a front end refresh and am in dire need of a passenger-side spindle. PO must have spun a bearing, shop before my ownership slapped it back together with a new bearing despite the spindle being undersized and scored. I've tried: the classifieds, ebay, facebook vog, all of the usual vendors and even a couple junkyards to no avail. You early dudes with the big brake conversions are killing me 
Anyway, if I can't find one, I may be forced to run it. I drove it for ~5k miles like this and it seemed ok aside from radial play I had previously assumed was from the bearing itself. I'd really prefer not to gamble and to do this right. Anyone? Thanks...
