PRObuilt DropSpindles versus New Un-assembled Drop Spindles

Completely stoked, I get to drop my ride... finally. You do your research and find out that Airkewld's drop spindles are the finest on the market. You purchase them, and you can not install them. Why? Because you need to disassemble your current set. The spindle assembly has a carrier, that is assembled with king pins and link pins. As much as I would love to tell you it is as easy as pressing them apart, (if you have a press), and pressing the new ones together, 1 out of 10 will be passable enough to do that. That is 90% of the spindles out there. Most of the time, a maintenance schedule of proper greasing and adjusting was never followed and the king pins and link pins will have slop and are worn. Guess what? You now need to purchase new king pins and link pins. You get those and now you need to press them in, ream them..., wait, you have VW reamer right? See where this is going? It can be frustrating if you are unaware of what you need to do. We haven't even got into the thrust and break in yet. The PRO's step in and provides a bolt on solution that uses the same spindles, OEM carriers, German Link Pins along with German King Pins. The PRO's bead blast the carriers and check them for wear and straightness. The PRO's continue by pressing in the king pin bushings and ream them with the proper tool to OE spec. If you go with the powder coat option, they are finished in a sexy satin black powder coat and are ready for assembly. This is where the PRO's really shine. The PRO's have created a few tools to dial in the proper thrust and feel, when all these parts come together. If this is not done, the steering wheel will not return to center. I can bet that most who do this job, have ever even thought of this, it is more of a slap this together kind of installation. The PRO's care about each facet of the product to ensure you have a painless installation. Does #PRObuilt sound like it checks all the boxes for you? It should.

Complete with options to improve the quality of your ride! 1949-1965 Link Pin applications are built to order. Raw applications take about 7 business days to ship do to. They will drop the vehicle a total of 2.5" and widen the track by 3/8" on each side. Every set of spindles for these applications add this amount of track. Your stock drum brakes will bolt on along with our BAD Series Brakes. Early model 2 bolt wheel cylinder backing plates will need a small grind on the back of the spindle.
