Which spindle?...
Which spindle?...
Well, went out for a little blast at lunch today, had alot of brake pedal fade on the way back... checked the truck and when I jacked the front end, noticed alot of play in the front right wheel.
The outer wheel bearing had failed. And my spindle is toast...
So, am I asking for a F-250 front right spindle and bearings from my local autoparts supplier? Are the bearings for our trucks any kind of 'high performance super bearing'... (with the way my luck has been lately, if I ask for a F-150 Lightning spindle I'll get a standard F-150 spindle)
Why the failure you ask?... All I can guess is that I did not seat the bearings correctly while installing my 'R-1' rotors last summer...[S#$%T Happens]
At least I wasn't doing a blast at 130 mph with the front wheel flying off...
Thanks, Elf
