Total chaos gusseted spindles

Sway bar friendly?

 

Yes, generally the spindles I keep ready to ship are always swaybar gussets. I will do the non-swaybar with some extra gusseting that I cut and add, but I don’t generally weld them up until they are ordered, as I feel the newest sway bar friendly version are superior in almost every way. With that said I do keep a bunch of swaybar and non swaybar gusset kits in stock pretty much at all times.

 

So basically if you have the SPC UCA, you need to relieve the thickness of that area by trimming the plate so that the castle nut can screw on far enough to line up with the cross hole of the balljoint? Is that because the uniballs have a longer stud then the balljoint does, or that they simply utilize a shorter c-lock nut that doesn't require as many threads on the stud?

 

Uniball lca’s use a stover nut. Which is self locking, as long as the bolt is long enough the the spindle doesn’t matter. What you stated about the castle nut is correct.

 

Gotcha. Being that I check my fasteners regularely, I'm thinking I may just keep the plate intact for strengths sake and utilize a different form of anti-vibration fastening (rather than the castle nut/cotter pin). There's also a good chance that I'll swap to uniball UCA's down the road.

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

I was lucky enough to get to gusset a brand new set of spindles last night. I’ll be wrapping up and shipping out two more sets tonight.

A couple more sets I welded up Tuesday. Halfway to their new destination. I don’t mention it much but I also do 2nd gen Tundra spindles.

 

I haven't had a chance to read through the whole thread....but how much for spindles and gussets welded and shipped? I'll shoot you a PM as well

1 set currently gusseted and ready to ship.

 

sent you a pm

 

Replying right now. I’m glad you mentioned ball joint control arms. I’m the only person I know of modifying the gussets for ball joints.

 

Would modifying the gussets for the ball joint control arms make them not usable for a uni-ball later down the rd.?

 

You’ll be able to use them with uniballs down the road if needed

 

Whats the deal on PreRunner sets? No sway bar.

 

Are you talking about these?

 

Yep! What is the price/availability? I have a PreRunner and I drive it hard and fast. Probably a good move.

 

Unless your trying to retain stock wheels or are trying to gain extra clearance I’d personally recommend the sway bar version. I feel they are a stronger design and don’t require any additional bracing. With that said I currently have both in stock.

 

I have stock (well, stock off of a different Taco) wheels and my sway bar is long gone.

 

I’m not sure how well those wheels clear the newest version of Tc’s spindle gussets. They could require wheel spacers to clear.
