I bought those, they aren't steel.
www.alltiresupply.com sells steel ones.
Mine came and I have them installed. Nicely made all steel product, ordered from ATS using part numbers in post #11. They said they had 60 sets left in different degrees when I got mine.
Yeah, we've used the nylon/plastic ones before. They actually work pretty OK, but like I said, I don't think they hold up quite to the abuse that some of us would put on them with larger tires and hard use.
For me, or someone with a LUBR or DD, or just smaller tires, they'd probably work fine.
Ordered one from my usual auto parts store this morning just to see what they were like. The old Moog part number for the 5-bolt spindles is still in the book, but comes up as discontinued in the computer. As we already knew of course (but I had to check anyway!).
Still though, good to know you got the steel ones and they're what was expected Doyle. Sounds like a plan.
And yes, I've been asking that question of the vendors for about 8 years but haven't seen much come up.
Just sent e-mails to 2 of my machinist/fab connections to see what it would take. I'll post up what they say.
As long as ATS still has 60 sets or so, a few more of us will have easy access to a cure.
Might have to post that info as some sort of sticky. Maybe a "parts you need and where to get them" thread? Don't we have something like that somewhere?
Oh, what part number did you end up getting Doyle? And what did yours end up costing? If you don't mind me asking. Same as what was in that previous post, or different?
Thanks
Paul
