Spindle attachment IRS
I find the alignment of the bearings on the spindle do not lign up with the lower arms. Both are forced tight to the inside leaving about 1/4" space on the outside of each lower arm. The ff guys indicate I can just insert spacers to take up the slack aligned so they just sit on the steel bearing hub. It seems like to spindle arms are so tight to the inside the rubber surrounding the bearing is making contact with the arm bracket. Something does not seem correct. I would insert picture but do not seem to b able from my iPad.

I think I understand what you're saying although a picture would help. Where did you get your spindles? I have the Ford racing kit car spindles and they're pretty much centered between the brackets.

Steve....You'll have to upload the picture to something like Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com) and then insert the IMG tag into your message.

I can't seem to figure out how to get pics uploaded from my iPad. I will see if I can do it from the computer.

Hey mario, I also have a gap at the differential of about 1/4" from the dif. to the joint. I tried to pull it out and it seems to have snapped in but is the space normal?

That gap seems to vary from car to car. I don't think it's an issue.

BTW, if you want you can e-mail the spindle pics to me and I'll post em up for you. Lemme know and I'll PM my e-mail address to you.
