Opinions:
Before I move forward with this knuckle rebuild, I want to understand if there’s an issue here. Ordered 084-101b, disc brake bearing kit (‘75-‘79) and Specter sent 084-101c (‘79-‘90).
I called and told them the spindle bushing is different from what I took off for the rebuild (‘78 front axle). They said “it will work” some parts may have been superseded…but not sure which parts if any.
My point is, it’s not what I ordered…cause changing the internals in the axle/knuckles is not easy and it needs to be done right the first time. They aren’t doing the work, driving it after or repairing it if it fails.
I feel like they should be able to say we changed your order because…XYZ, but they just said they are the same, and essentially…I need to be ok with it.
Am I worrying about nothing?
This is an example of the bushing that came in the kit vs the bushing that came out of the spindle.
