    I was about to say the same thing. There is no way that the negative reviews were as quick (and as much as this). I am anxious to get Bob's input...

    sorry to be Debbie Downer, but just giving everyone a heads up. I thought that these spindles would be the perfect solution for my truck and I was wrong. Within the next couple of days i am gonna raise my billies to 1.75 or 2.5 and see if that makes a difference.

    My reviews are necessarily bad. I trimmed my fender wells and now the rubbing gone so I am happy about that but my truck is very bouncy and is a little bit of a rough ride right now. BUT I believe that it is because my tires are out of balance. I wouldnt say it has anything to do with the spindles especially since I am rolling on stock coilovers too.

    Exactly, I am just annoyed because I dont know what is making my steering wheel shake and why my ride is a little rough. I am really leaning toward wheel balancing since everything gets worse between 50-60 and the tires in the rear are louder too and give off a little vibration

    All the negatives you guys are mentioning have nothing to do with the spindles....wheels tires? Alignment? Wheel shakes...all you guys talking abt after market wheels...did you check the: bore size? That can cause horrible shakes......for example, my wheels had a bore size of 108mm and a tacoma is ~106mm....yeah, 2mm caused a horrible vibe. fix: hub bore rings and $5. Research.:confused:

    MARK YOU MAY HAVE JUST ANSWERED MY PROBLEMS....Looking up the specs to my wheels right now I found out I have a 108 hub bore and I am no hub centric. 2 things that could most definitely be my problem. Thank you for that lol

    Buy hub bore rings on ebay...108 to 106....the polysomething plastic....that, and a good balnce...toure set....see, discounttire will only sell you a 106mm hib bore wheel...if you buy online or lets say a wheel with the same lug pattern you may think its the perfect fit, but its not. Try it, it helped me.

    Yes... Thank you. My wheels are also 108 hub bore and this is definitely good to keep in the back of my mind if I do get some shaking.

    Could this help with rubbing issues? The only reason I ask is because I will be putting 5100's up front (set at 0) with OME 883 coils...
