Rear spindles needed 1980
« on: June 10, 2017, 08:13:11 PM »
My Drivers (USA side) LHS trailing arm got damaged when hub bearing spindle was pressed out... Shop didnt watch how much force was being used and the arm is bent out of shape ... Let me know what you have, just need the bare TA.

Thanks

The joy of getting experts to work on your car. They have probably damaged the thread on spindle also.
I have a  fully rebuilt R/hand arm here sandblasted,powder coated,new bearings, & handbrake shoes ready to bolt on all it needs is a poly bush in the front

I may have one .
I will  check in the morning
A thought are the LH  and RH the same if you remove the park brake cable bracket

Bfit t if only.. there is a rhd one for 65usd .. can get a new repro one for 145usd but if I can get one in aud that's bare for lhs  even better.  I'll post pics. Spindle is ok. I also need the inner race shell. Didnt get one with the Timkin bearing set for some reason.

Take  the bearing back they are a matched set, they can be bought locally from a bearing supplier

I have a spare one  $120 plus post . Told ya they would damage the spindle. Is the thread mushroomed out on the end?

I do have a full set i removed from my 72 last week , its just the bear arms and can sandblast for you if required ( you can paint your desired colour )
$200 for the set.

I also think i have new bushes for them as well ( and maybe the bolts too )
PM if your interested.
