I will be testing this theory tonight and sure would like to get this thing in.
It looked so easy in the DVD I watched.
Isn't that always the way.

I rolled my completed front end back under my truck, attached the radius ball and then found the front spring was forward about 1 ½ inches. I read where I need to verify my spring perches are exactly spot on and will remove the spring and check. Anybody else have any ideas on what may not be right f...

I recently finished rebuilding my the front spring on my A and used John Deere slip plate on the backs.
I can't wait to see how the assembly works.

Kinda sounds like one of more of the brake linings came off the shoe(s) and rolled up inside your drum.
I'd think about removing the front drums and have a look.
I've never seen this but have read about it happening.

I saw that short one too. I just ordered a new one and got the standard size. I'm not quite sure what the short one will do. Quicker steering maybe? Clearence shouldn't be a problem.

I appreciate all the help on this and will put the bent spindle in file 13.
thanks,
Marty

I had my grease holes lined up. I'm not sure if the thing was bent before I did my work. I picked that spindle up in Colorado.
Mike's found me another one and it is on its way.
I will check the new one out before I do anything this time.
Thanks for your help,
Marty

I pressed out my front spindle bushings and pressed in new ones. I took the spindles to a honing shop along with my king pins for a good fit. One spindle worked out fine. The other appears to have bent during the pressing operation and now the king pin holes are not in line and do not match up. One ...

Your truck looks good. It looks like a driver. Good job and keep up the good work.

I plan on delivering one of my engines to be rebuilt and want to know the weight before I load it up.
I will remove the transmission so no weight totals are needed for it.
Thanks guys,
Marty

I've purchased a video from Deablo showing a complete front end rebuild. One section has a guy straightening an axle. He does quite well with the set up and tools he uses. What usually bends the end of the axle back is parking against curbs. I want to straighten that and then adjust so that the king...

What is the angle in degrees of the front axle where the king pins go through.
Camber right?
I've heard 5 degrees and 9 degrees. I'm not sure which is correct.
I am having a hard time finding this one specification and want my axle looked at.
Thanks
Marty

I can't seem to find the diameter of the radius ball.
I also want to know which type of reparir will be best if I have mine rebuilt.
Thanks,
Marty

Anybody know if front spindles on my AA are the same as the ones on my A?
My recent purchase of a 28 roadster pickup has a broken right spindle and someone welded it up.
Anyone have any of these that might work. I'd like to go ahead and get left and right and try to do it right.

Shelby: I purchased all new races and bearings to do my front end. When I put the new races in, I used a Loctite cylindrical retaining compound, don't remember the number. I tried removing the race in question this morning and it would not budge. I plan on going ahead with packing the bearings and a...
