Default need spindles/uprights

We screwed up both sides when we did my front brakes and I have 3 oversized sliders on this thing. Been 40K and based on the brake dust on my front rims, im thinking its time to start thinking about having to do the spindle/upright change. Where would be best place to get? If it were unihub i'd hit the JY's, but 1) i wont know if it have big sliders already 2) i dont wanna pick up one with a wasted spindle shaft. But i can imagine new will be 500+ a side.

I'll be doing v8 springs and spacers at same time.

Cant you just heli coil it? Could try a junk yard but you never know how good that one is.

lol, I just saw the first 2 posts and I was trying to come up with the name of another technique in fixing the problem.

+1 on the heli coil. I gotta get that done for one of my caliper pins.
