Getting ready to adjust my front wheel bearings and shoot some grease in the spindle bearings while I’m in there. It’s been discussed on here in the past, but Mobil 1 synthetic grease, even though it’s NLGI 2, OK for spindle bearings? No one in my locale has NLGI 1 rated grease.
Primarily for my full-frontal nerdery. There are a wide variety of spindles used on the 7x Series throughout the range. Most are self-explanatory but it gets a bit weird when you get into the late model stuff that can have ABS or not and/or Dual Mode Auto Locking Hubs (DMALH). Lots of combos...
Just looked under the rig and saw this gap between the axel and spindle. I was planning on doing wheel bearings/spindle bearing/drive flange. What would cause this gap on one side and not the other? Just want to make sure I order all the correct parts so I don’t have to pay shipping twice from...
Swapping the knuckle and spindle from a 1981 mini truck onto my 1972. First, I am using the spindle from the 1981, so that isn't the problem. I have in this order, knuckle, spindle, brake spacer (rather than the dust shield), gold shield. Using vented rotors. I know the wheel bearing traces...
Does anyone happen to know any info regarding the spindle size / bearing sizes/ etc. for the Slee swingouts? Having a hard time getting any information regarding the spindle / bearing combo.
Thanks!
parts are used but in good condition.
(1) passenger side knuckle housing w/ ABS sensor hole - $90
(1) birfield/CV - $80
(1) spindle - $40

Hi Guys...been a long time. That's the trouble with a reliable rig.
I have been having ABS issues, thought at first it was a bad sensor but they checked out OK.
System resets and after a bit of driving the pedal would chatter a little coming to a slow stop pull a little to one side and the ABS...
I replaced my CV axles a month ago but I need to go back in to do a full bearing job (216k miles) and bearing replacement including the spindle bearing, seal & bushing. Do I need to remove the entire knuckle from the upper and lower ball joints and steering rods to remove and replace the...
Well, after my recent birfield post I thought I should get some Mud eyes on my spindle bushings.
I'm in the middle of a birf rebuild on a 94 LC with 270k miles. This is part of my ongoing baselining after buying it last year. No history records but in generally good shape. Not an off-roader...
In the process if hunting down a wobble I checked my wheel bearings to see if they were loose. Sure enough both sides were loose not terrible like with oem spindle nut set-up but the concerning part is the set screws had made contact with the drive flange for many miles and the Allen head was...
so I'm doing a hub rebuild and when taking the passenger side apart I found a lot of metal shavings behind the locking hub. Wondered what I would find deeper in there as I've never seen this before. Unfortunately I did not take a pic. The top bearing was fried. Then while cleaning the grease out...
Can I reuse my front axle spindle that I knicked up with a dremel tool trying to get the brass bushing off for replacement ? (stock '83 FJ60)
The bushing looked kind of thin, so I tried taking it off 1st with a Harbor Freight 3-jaw pilot bearing tool to no success and then took a combination of...
