If you are going to be sitting there waiting i suggest you call on the phone and speak with Danny right away. I have ALOT of stuff i am trying to wrap up right now and dont want to have this issue ignored. Thanks

My invoice # is 248859A customer # is 54274. Well i'm sure there is something wrong with mine. I bought new ball joints (went back last night and verified the joints at the parts store) The new joints fit the old spindle and should fit the new ones

Ok so you are saying the balljoints you bought at the parts store fit the old spindles but not the new drop spindles? What is the part # of the balljoints you ordered?

Part # should fa903, if that fit the old spindle correct but not are new spindles, then return the spindles. Thanks

They are from Oreilly part # k6136 upper and k6117 lower

Do you have a replacement dropped spindle, if i return mine?

Check out McGaughy's or Early Classic Enterprises. I've used both and never had a problem like this. If you can send yours back that is.

I pulled some spindles off of another project same brand Western and same year model, these are about 1.5 or 2 years old. Fits like a glove no interference at all doesn't bind even a full extension. The forging on the top ball joint pad is different it is machined much closer and the ball joint stud is just right needs no washers. Hope i can return the bad ones
