Well I need the spindles by the 28th and the site I ordered them from has not emailed me with any info yet so I've texted Tony in hopes I can get the spindles before the 28th so I can have this resolved before the road trip.

Can someone please explain why the BelTech spindles would cause less stress on the suspension vs the McGaughys?

Not being smirk...... really asking.

What is the difference?

Especially since McGaughys claims to be a OE height spec. Spindle and they plaster their ads all over the place.

While looking at them while steered straight ahead it looks as if there is pressure on the tie rods because the mount isn't flat it looks like it's pushing on them I could see where it would cause tie rods to wear out faster but not really put pressure on the steering gear..

They also appear to be a pain in the ass to install on 4x4.
I cannot even see the nut on the upper ball joint it's like inside the spindle when I replaced the spindles and uca the uca and spindle are coming out as one unit because there is no way I saw to get to that nut
