Broken drop spindle

[SYCOTIK]

I'd bet money that those r an AIM product spindle. I had Chassis Tech spindles on my truck about 10 years ago when I first got my truck and the same happened to one of mine... Getting in the freeway I noticed it was hard to pick up speed, like the brakes were on. About a half mile later, SNAP! Pulled over slowly (luckily) to see what happened; driver side wheel cambered in, upper control arm bent, hole in center cap of newish rim where the broke end of shaft was sticking into, and gouges all around inside lip of wheel where it rubbed around the control arm when it broke. The only thing that kept the wheel on was the caliper holding the rotor (hense the feeling of my brakes being on). So back to the first sentence, I'd guess it's any of AIMs branding of spindle. Lesson learned, that was the first and last time I have ever bought anything from them. Spend the few extra bucks and get a quality piece that'll last.
