Started my front axle 'rite of passage' rebuild today. Glad I did too, lock nut found off and spindle stripped. Looks like PO bent lock washer the wrong way and stripped the index protrusion off of it. Additionally no gasket on drive flange found and bearings made in China. New spindle ordered, part# 43401-60081 . Hoping for a smoother ride.
Tip of the hat to Cruiser Outfitters @cruiseroutfit for the rebuild kit and misc other parts. It arrived so fast that I'm sure it was mailed before I was off the phone!
I can’t speak highly enough of Cruiser Outfitters, they are truly stand up guys. I understand every company has at least one guy at some point in time that has an “off day” and might be on the struggle bus, but it’s so pleasant doing business with them I think about calling and ordering parts just to deal with good people
