Spindle Repair

There are places that will come out to you and repair it. Try searching for Axle Doctor or something like that in your area. Some will put an entirely new piece on and others will put a sleeve on it.

 

one in little rock, arkansas, axle surgeon, just had one replaced.

 

It just had the outer bearing journal done and not the whole spindle.

Looks like a pro job to me. I say send it.

 

Axle surgeon will come to you. Cost around 1600 for the last one I had done. All they do is repair. You must tear it down and put it back together. Honestly though it looks solid. Is it straight? I’m not sure if I would run it or not.

 

Looks like a hack job to me. I've had Axle Surgeons do probably 50 jobs for me, and have seen a few others.

All replaced the whole spindle. Maybe there's a way to do that reliably, but I haven't seen it offered

 

I can only imagine they cut off a half spindle from a junk yard. That’s really the only way I know to get one. It’s certainly not going to be as strong as replacing the whole spindle. I can only assume it’s just butt welded.

 

They order them new separately and some even make them. There's a video on YT showing the process.

 

A half spindle?

 

Sorry, I misread your post.
