Spindle inspection

[jvincig01]

This is my first time really going through my knuckles. Definitely a novice, but fortunately, there are some Mud threads and good videos out there to help me along.

Upon removal of the passenger side, I found it the spindle did not have a bushing (thanks PO). As a result, the inside tip of the spindle is marred. To quote my father in-law "oh that's f$&king cute".

I am installing new bushings on both sides to give a fresh start. My question is, are these spindles toast? My nails don't get hung up where the bearings ride, but there is the absolute slightest wear on the bottom of the spindles.

Everything I see looks ok. The birf shaft will will be centered in the spindle by the lockout and bushing.

Agree with pb4ugo, nothing wrong here. Replace seals, bearings, new stake washer and probably nuts.

The inner races dont spin or shouldnt, on the spindle. the wear marks on the inside could be from the lockout/hub, were there selectable hubs or drive flanges ?

Thank you. They are selectable hubs (Warn).

Can you post a pic of the back side of the spindle ( where the brass bushing goes )
