The issue I have, is the bushings are loose in the spindle. The standard pin is nice and snug in the axle. Any one ever find an oversize bushing? Would be nice not to change the spindle that is fine otherwise(ain't no body making "new" spindles so far). 1/2 ton in my case. I have thought about getting the bushing knurled...any one do that? Spindle hole is straight, true, and just a bit loose. Bushing will press in and through with my thumb. Nice and snug for a few hundred miles, then the sloppy comes right back. Ugh.
This is exactly the situation I pointed out in the 9th response to this thread. I doubt that the rounded out spindle holes are perfectly round. Two of the local machinists I consulted said they could hone the spindle bores for oversize bushings but did not have a hone long enough to do both ends at the same time and there could be a slight mis-alignment issue. I sent my spindles to Sid's Axles
http://www.droppedaxles.com/ because he has the right equipment to do the job properly and supplies the correct bushings as well.
