    You might get off cheap replacing the spindle but that hole side is likely a bit tweaked. Id be replacing the whole side or being paranoid about every little shake from the front. Would suck to put it together go to get it aligned and find your hub to hub distance is off.

    Take it somewhere thst knows collision. Joe wrenchaday may not know how to measure everything.

    or do it at a friends house... Save the money and replace what is needed as you find it wont align.

    It'd be cheaper to tow it to someones house and have them help. After all, you have asked for help, accept it. People here are willing to help. Having it towed and having help will be so much cheaper than a shop.

    Alignment - $N/A yet
    Shop fees - $N/A yet/hour
    TOTAL - $unkown

    Performance Truck Center guarantees their work will be more reliable and they're prices will be reasonable. Truck Customs, LLC pulled the spindle price out of their ass because they never used a computer nor called anybody. I have to go to Performance Truck Center Monday afternoon to get all of the prices.

    The one in Montgomery? They're currently tending to Texican76's truck and they completely built my friend's Jeep flawlessly. I've heard of people having trouble with Truck Customs, LLC. more. A friend of mine had to take them to court.

    I talked to the manager at Performance and he said they rub REALLY bad. Worse than mine did. When they pulled it around to put it in the garage bay, they could only slightly turn the steering wheel so, he had to keep pulling back and forth to get it out of the parking space.

    They closed in December, IIRC. The one in Opelika was complete shit.

    I know you dont have much options but 500 bucks for a spindle is so expensive, I picked up a stock set for 100 and you can get a whole nother procomp kit for 1500. But yeah

    Well, they lied about the price. I'll be getting an honest, real price Monday. So, $516 isn't what I'm paying.
