Re: Belltech 3121 Spindle Help/Question/Rant

Well here’s my crude drawing.
I shipped my Belltech spindles back yesterday, and got my McGaughys spindles from Summit Racing today,... so no side by side picture.

The outer tie rod arm of the McGaughys spindle is approximately .220” thinner.
I think the Belltech spindles were reamed correctly, just not machined to the correct thickness.
That caused the articulation problem.

You’ll see all the spec differences in my drawing.

I also FORGOT that McGaughys doesn’t drill and tap their spindles for the dust shield. The boss is there. But they’re not drill.
That kinda sucks.
I’m sure the last set I got years ago were drilled and tapped.
Not a big issue on for the truck they are going on.
