*Check your spindle gussets for cracks with B/S talk

Sub'd! Great discussion here. This is great for individuals who have not yet gusseted their spindles... Not entirely unlike myself.

 

Least we could make it back home in our own truck

 

From where?

Not in the middle of a trail like OP.

Do you have a point or just turning this into a Prerunner is life derailment for no benefit of anybody reading for information on what can lead to a life threatening failure of an important part?

This is a serious topic dealing with potentially dire circumstances.

 

The mall...

 

REKT.

 

@MonkeyProof Curious so see if we can get some more input after people start getting off work and (hopefully) inspect their gussets.

 

I'm sure glad we have people able to positively ID a forged part versus a cast part using nothing more than an Internet picture.

Tell me, do cast parts have the same kind of strength needed to take the kind of use and abuse these spindles take?

Please, argue the point more. Tell us more how you're the only one on here convinced it's cast, in the face of everyone, including common sense, telling you otherwise.

 

Called the Truck Shop a few minutes ago.

$250 for them to weld their gussets onto your spindles. One day turnaround.

I know what I'm doing once Andy gets my spindle back to me.



edit: At least, it's a one day turnaround BEFORE all you SOBs run over there at once

 

Yeah I already ordered a new set of spindles, after I get them I'm most likely going to send them to The Truck Shop"

Looking back on it, it was stupid of me to try to weld the gussets with all the fitment issues on my old spindles, I should have realized my spindles were bent quite a bit and stopped there.

 

what was the price on the spindles if you don't mind me asking?

$270 each

 

Figure they would be at least $400 a piece

 

Did they give you a price on the just the gussets?

 

I talked to Rob at TotalChaos a few minutes ago asking to see if I can get the gussets that come with the Non-Sway bar Version, he said he needs to get with the sales manager on that. He suggests to always run the Non-Sway bar version. I also told him about this thread and about the 2 spindle failures. He was was interested in seeing this thread so I emailed him a link to it.
