SW6TA Broken Stud on Right Front Spindle

Darin Doerscher · Aug 14, 2009

I twisted off the threaded portion on the top of the spindle where the stearing arm bolts on. My question is: Is this threaded portion machined to the entire spindle or is it a stud? I am trying to decide how to fix it. Any insight would be appreciated.

Not familiar with what you have, but they are normally machined complete as one unit. The spindle on the bottom is a cast peice that is ussually (or sometimes) welded to a shaft that has the splines or key and the top threads turned on them. One possibility is to have a shop drill out the top, tap it, and make a stud for it that would screw in and be the right size threads for a new nut.
