HOW do you change the spindles? I've not been under there in in a couple of months, and can't remember what's involved....
Can someone give me a quick run-down of what's involved in swaping the spindle itself?? The hub bolt comes off??? Are the wheel bearings in the spindle itself? Should I replace wheel bearings whilt out, or inpect and leave em be???
Background:
I am thinking of a brake upgrade to the Mark VIII brakes, but understand I have to replace the spindles and sway bar end links.
What year MVIIIs can I use for a donor? Is it all 93 – 97 with ABS? I can use MVIII spindles, sway bar end links, calipers, and rotors....is this right?
So, is there anything else involved that I didn’t think about?
They just bolt right on up? Should I get the calipers and rotors from the salvage yard or should I buy em new from the parts shop?
Should I worry about using the used calipers, or is visual inspection enough?
I got a $200 quote so far on Mark VIII spindles with brakes and all.... sounds like a good price to me!
Thanks guys!
