I had received the wrong spindles with my kit initially and just received the correct ones, the SN95 spindles. The hub bearing will not slide onto the spindle. It slides on the wrong spindle with ease but no go with the correct spindle. Any suggestions? Waited three weeks to get the problem corrected only to have a new problem. Thanks all

Use a strip of emery cloth and work it around the spindles. Doesn't take too much to get them to slide on. Make sure to have the hubs aligned and straight as it's an exact fit. This has happened to other builders and usually a pretty easy fix.

Just curious—-why the SN95 spindles rather than the FFR ones? They result in some wonky geometry when used on a Gen3 Coupe.

I used the pin drive lower control arms which I found out dictate the SN95 spindles. I miked the spindles and the bearings and they are exactly the same dimensions. I wasn’t sure if the Chinese tolerances were different than the Mexican tolerances hehe
