Just installed the belltech 2" drop spindles and now my truck pulls to the left or right and has a "whistling" noise that seems to be come from the front right tire. I was told to wait at least a week for an alignment so that it has time to settle. Any help would be appreciated. Also I just installed them on Saturday the 18th. Any help will be greatly apredicted, thanks!

Did you follow the Torque specs for the hub nut?
New bearings and races? Atleast repack the old ones?

I wouldn't wait more than a couple hours for the suspension to settle and you should be fine

 

I not only put in new seals and bearings and pack them, I put extra grease inside the hub too. I use Hi-cap bearings because the outside one is so small. On some of the spindle kits it says to flip the tie rod end too. Check your instructions because that would change your toe to zero and you would wander all over the place especially in ruts and uneven pavement.

 

Well I went for an alignment and they told me the bearings were shot or loose, and they wanted to charge me like a 1000 dollars to fix it. I did have to invert the tie rods, I have no idea, how I'm gonna fix it without tools or lift or anything. It was not a good day

 

That sucks, well when you get a chance check the bearings and races. If they are brownish blue at all they are toast. good luck, hope it works out.
