Spindle

[nspctr1]

I finally found out what the vibration was on my 998. While going to a meeting yesterday morning the front rt wheel decided to depart from the vehicle. Turns out whoever performed the last maintenance on it did not use the locking tabs on the washers to lock in the nut. The threads are a little beat up where it came out of the hub and not sure what parts were lost when it came apart. There is a bearing and what looks to be a race still on the spindle and looks like everything else is still inside the hub but won't know until I get time to tear it down. Im probably just going to buy a new spindle and see what other parts are needed. From the looks of it the bearings etc look good with no pitting or heat marks.
Should I rebuild it completely? Any place better than the other to buy from? Do any of these parts cross over that can be purchased from a regular auto parts store?

Thx

I rebuilt one, it isn't too difficult. You can order most everything surplus parts wise. You might as well replace all the seals with new ones while it's apart, or at least check them. Check the ball bearings. Be careful with those threads, it cost me a spindle. Had the learn the hard way.

That’s definitely an investment I would make.

That is $89 for a locking nut kit, not a locking spindle.

Thats what I meant as op said "washers to lock in the nut."
