everybody is..

i got one side done today

im about to make a new thread about a question regarding the spindles, but ima put the question in here too:

after installation of the spindle and once you get the rotor back on and the bearing, is it normal for the rotor/wheel to be hard to spin once the aftermarket spindle is installed? we experienced that and know that it wasnt that way w/ the oem spindle but im just wondering if anyone else has experienced this once they installed their 2in spindle..

did you grease the spindel? did you over tighten the spindle nut?

yea i greased the spindle, and i didnt even put the nut on, the bearing and everything else was already on and i went to spin it and it wasnt as free as the factory one. i was thinkin that the new spindle(bore) was slightly larger than the oem one.

unless its some crap ass brand it should be exactly the same. pull a dial caliper outa your ass and measure it.

did you have the calipers back on it? when i pulled my brakes and stuff off on my truck, after i packed the bearings with grease and put it all back together my wheels were harder to turn by hand (the driverside was) i did the same thing to the otherside and they turned fine...after i started the truck though and pumped the brakes everything was normal. just what ever you do, pack the bearings really good with grease and dont over tighten the spindle nut. after its put back together, start the truck and try moving it back and fourth a couple feet or so, jack it back up and see if its fine.

naw i didnt even have the calipers back on it at that point, i was still in the process of finishing up w/ the bearings and everything. everything is packed w/ grease, so i duno

but since u said the DS was harder to turn thats my case(so far) im doing the passenger side tomorrow so hopefully the PS will turn freely.

BTW the brand spindles i got was chassis tech.
