    I didn't see "bell tech" anywhere on mine. Just the same "2000"

    I went to install them yesterday and found all the belltech paperwork in the bottom of the box. So I feel fairly certain that
    They are belltech spindles (bought a set before from stillen and look the same).

    Appears they are belltech. #2000 cast in the back side.

    No tires yet, but soon. i was rubbing pretty hard on the inner fender up front with 215/65-15s before spindles. might go ahead and cut em before i take it off the jack stands. pretty sure I'm gonna run static for this season and bag/body in the winter...

    i purchased those spindles from eBay. once i installed them i had to adjust the toe-in. i also had to find some bolts for the turn stops. its worth the buy, no defects or odd **** on them.

    ^^yep. they fit good,but ya gotta toe it in. my front end doesnt appear to have been apart since 92, so spraying them down didnt cut the mustard. gonna heat the adjuster sleeve a bit that should do it (fingers crossed). tires will be in tomorrow!

    I ended up putting the closed end of a wrench over the part of the tie rod end that goes into the spindle....thus creating a handle for leverage...Once it broke free, I threaded it all the way in, and all the way out.spraying WD40 the whole time...and rusty, grease was pouring out as I did this.

    Much betta now.

    For some reason I thought you already had a set of drop spindles.

    Nope, just lowering LCAs and cranked down torsion bars. Now I'm legit. Hey do you think you can play with photo shop for me a bit? I think I've finally decided what I am going to do.

    Did any one that had these spindles have any play on the lower ball joint? The aftermarket ball joints that came with my KBS (cando) arms have a washer but it seems to still have some play. Seems like the castle nut is bottoming out on the ball joint before it touches the top of the hole for the lower ball joint that's on the drop spindle.
