HydroTek Posted August 3, 2025 Posted August 3, 2025 Twisted the spindle shaft most likely you would need to take the spindle apart and heat the shaft try to 'clock' the shaft back in position or replace the spindle shaft Quote
boots Posted August 3, 2025 Author Posted August 3, 2025 Some one welded mine before i got it but will look at it Quote
stronger800 Posted August 3, 2025 Posted August 3, 2025 The arm on top, is welded to the spindle? Does the arm look to be in alignment? If it is,and the weld is still intact, and the wheel isn’t pointing where it should be, well then the spindle is twisted like he said Quote
boots Posted August 3, 2025 Author Posted August 3, 2025 Thanks I understand you now weld is still intact gonna look afterwhile Quote
boots Posted August 3, 2025 Author Posted August 3, 2025 Looked in the daylight paint popped on top of spindle where is weldedgonna need some steering parts. Suggestions appreciated Quote
HydroTek Posted August 3, 2025 Posted August 3, 2025 Grind the weld off clock the arm where you want and weld again obvious was a problem there or it would not have been welded was not a good weld or it would not have cracked I use Chrome Nickel rods for that weld Check also the bolster arm -- those like to stress crack and yours has had some stress Much more of a problem is the bolster arm breaks off while you are driving that a bent spindle (worn keyway in your case I suspect) or broken weld on the spindle arm Quote
dale560 Posted August 3, 2025 Posted August 3, 2025 Check the bottom of spindle also. Have seen many break the weld on bottom and twist on upright shaft. Quote
stronger800 Posted August 3, 2025 Posted August 3, 2025 Those two parts aren’t expensive right? Spindle and arm. Well and the Key. Bolt. Wheel bearings Quote
