Is there no longer a place to purchase new spindles? its for a 93 Dakota 4x4 with 3.9, I called dealership, they no longer carry them, no where online but junkyards can I find them and they look like rust buckets

 

4wd doesn't have spindles. Are talking about the Hub bearings? If so all autopart stores sell them.

 

Yes! Ok another name front knuckle, the piece that the hub assy goes on and the calipers mounts to, I stripped out one of calipers holes and tryed to retap and failed, uneven wear now, where can I find the knuckle? If that's what its called

 

Okay a knuckle is different from a spindle, but some knuckles has spindles on it, but not all. But if all you did is strip out the threads you have a few choices. (Details in the first post is good)

Buy over size threaded pins, most auto-parts stores sell them specific to our trucks.

Just use a Heli-coil cheep and easy to do. Drill, tap and insert the Heli-coils which reduce the new larger thread to the correct size. http://www.emhart.com/brands/heli-coil/ Most auto-parts stores sell them.

 

Well I'm not sure if I did the helicoil correctly or not? I did this awhile back and I've noticed the wear pattern is offset like its only braking on outside half of rotor, but I do know the caliper on other side is wearing evenly but sticks and overheats sometimes, is it possible for this side to stick and cause only outside of rotor to wear?
