    Naw, there was a 1/4" of uca that still needed to be inserted into the top of the spindle. We even picked up some taps and a big drill bit, still didn't wanna go. Figured it was safer for everything to walk away. Truck is daily driver. Lol.

    They're an upgraded OEM replacement ball joint. Their design is pretty nice. We destroyed the dust boot to the balljoint from separating so many times and the Moogs will also add some adjustment capability to the alignment.

    Neither really. Each manufacturer would have to agree on a standard for all parts to be interchangeable without modification. Then they would all have to be test fit. Logistical hardship. If we were master craftsmen I'm sure we could've gotten it done but alas, we don't run a metal shop or nothin. Lol. My question is if Camburg fits, TC fits and stock fits...... And All Pro fits stock.....and all the rest fit stock AND Maxtrac...... How come All Pro doesn't fit Maxtrac? Odd to me. :confused:

    I dont think its across the board that they wont fit... Did your spindle fit the stock UCA's?

    Yep, stock UCAs and Maxtrac spindle are good fit. Still on and riding fine.

    That's a good point..... Hopefully someone else has All Pro UCAs with Maxtrac spindles or at least tried and will chime in. :cool:

    Same here, not digging thru 1800+ posts in 2 threads but I know for sure at least 1 other person ran into this and tapped the top of the spindle. Guess the manufacturing tolerances are a little larger sometimes. Wonder if it's from casting process or milling of misalignment spacers? I sent the Maxtrac engineer a PM. Maybe they've heard of this and have a reasoning or solution.

    Hey Guy's.... I'm the only one on here and haven't seen anything on this.... We make our spindles to work with the stock ball joint... If the taper and bore is in the stock configuration there should be no problem. The tolerances have to be exact to work and I just don't now what All Pro uses for thier ball joints... The fit needs to be exact to work correctly...

    Oh Ohhh this can be a problem for me. Maxtrac Bob is there anything you can do or is it too late because of casting?

    Thanks for the response and clarification. Def made no sense to me that your spindles would fit stock ball joints and not All Pros since All Pro makes their UCAs for stock spindles which one would normally infer that their arms would fit your spindles. Alas, guess not. Weird. Maybe it's because their arms are uniball? Anyway, thanks again for making an awesome spindle at an awesome price! Keep up the great work!:D
