Oh, I misspoke earlier. My shop sent Luke the damaged spindle 2 weeks ago.

UPDATE! Luke emailed me this morning and has shipped out a new spindle to replace the damaged one. He is having his engineers look into why the separation occurred and will let us know when he gets the information which will hopefully be soon.

Glad you're getting a replacement spindle. You still may want to give Mark a call to verify the harmony of all those parts working together.

Maybe run the suspension through a few different cycles before you put the springs and shocks in and tighten up all of the bolts. It should be easy to feel any binding if you can do it by hand. Originally Posted by csouth

I'm curious if the cause of the separation was found?

Holy $#!^........ I have been away for a while playing in the dirt with my new jeep and just found this thread.
I have been running these spindles on my car for a few years now with no problems but i guess its time to pull them off and get them magnafluxed...
Spacepirate do you have any tracktime on your spindles or has it been just street driving?

No track time. Roughly 500 miles of driving around town. Hopefully this was just a one off issue.

Has the reason for the separation been found? I would think anyone wanting to buy these would like to know. Originally Posted by spacepirate

But still no explanation as to the cause of the failure?

No offence but if this was my company i'd want this problem resolved ASAP....something like this popping up on an internet search good or bad is a not so good thing.

I posted them for sale because it took a very long time to receive the replacement spindle and decided while the car was in the shop to switch over to the ridetech's TruTurn setup. Nothing is wrong with the used spindle and the replacement is new. I'm hoping that Luke will respond to the forum as to what he thinks went wrong. I feel it was just a random bad spindle.

The concern I have with these spindles involves the unknown. I'd be afraid to buy your spindles with one used in case it was part of a bad batch if that ends up being the problem with the one that failed. Too many unanswered questions....

I guess there is no news so far on the separation? Hopefully the cause is revealed.
