    I would assume because he said "adapter"

    This is common on these LT kits. That's why Total Chaos uses that purty machined piece on they're LCAs ;)

    Not true the race spindle cracks when you hit the steering locks too much

    there are no steering locks.... I believe that little strike pad is there for a last ditch effort. Are any other spindles desgined as a steering lock??? you must be turning super tight to hit the spindle...

    I didn't strip the whole axle to bear metal to weld on spring perches.
