    I have the exact same popping noise along with many others after installing spindles, even with my camburgs. There used to be a thread about it a while back but i dont get why the noise comes only after people install spindles. If its a bad bushing then how come it doesn't pop before or after? I mean everyone can't have bad bushings right after installing them :confused:

    I have a small pop, but it's rare. Usually when backing up and then hitting the brakes, it pops.

    My best guess would be, like extending the handle on a wrench. A short handled wrench can pull only so hard, but extend that wrench 4" and you can torque a Lot harder. Now, take that formula to an extended spindle, and it's pulling on the LCA with that torque.

    I doubt it's bad bushings, just bad geometry.

    to come!
    For what it's worth I called a local shop, asked about lift spindles and he said that he is showing them in stock at one of their warehouses... I asked him what brand and he told Maxtrac! He wanted to call his warehouse to make sure they are physically there... He is gonna call me tomorrow morning. Got my fingers crossed :) . Btw he told me $520 + CA sales tax. I will update what happens tomorrow

    Removed the Mud Flaps, Rock Deflectors and Head Rest. Limo Tint, I had 3" Toytec Lift, Procomp Nitrogen ES6000 shocks and Struts. AllPro UCA, AFE Pro Dry drop in filter, WeatherTecs. Now I have LR UCA's, Maxtrac Spindles, Eibach's, 5100's up front, Expos, 5160 for the rear, U Bolt Flip Kit, and Extended Brake lines.
    Am If there are more than 1 can you please let me know.

    Also do you guys know anything from these Bora Spacers? They say they have a .75" wheel spacer so that would be perfect for the rear so they both match.

    Finally, HRD, When this distributor calls you, can you ask what batch they came from.

    Thanxs

    I bought my MaxTrac's off of eBay when they were first advertising them. When they reworked them and jacked up the price, the new ones were sent to me at no extra charge. That was the original price for them.
