Re: Belltech 3121 Spindle Help/Question/Rant

I've been looking at a lot of other spindles and they all look very similar except were the tie rod is concerned. I think that if I took a 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the top it'll allow the tie rod to articulate plus also bring that top taper more in line with the stock spindle which is .581 inch from what the Belltech spindle is .633 inch. I think it'll work but with all that said I don't really trust Belltech anymore. I'll buy a different manufacturer so I'm not worrying about it failing as I'm driving.
That’s a great point.
If I get stuck with the Belltech spindles I’ll machine a little off the top of the tie rod arm.
