Re: drop spindles

It sounds like you might actually have a 1.25in rotors needing the larger bearings, only the inner bearing is different between 1in and 1.25in rotors. You might want to double check the thickness.

Re: drop spindles

I have 3" Belltech #3200 spindles on my truck project with 1" rotors.
I got the bearings at my local parts store.

Re: drop spindles

The inner bearing is a A6 bearing for the light duty rotors.
The outer bearing should be A3.

(the HD 1-1/4" rotors take A5 inners and A3 outers)

Re: drop spindles

Does it do this on both spindles. Just trying to see if the spindle might be defective.

Re: drop spindles

Wich ever parts fit your stock spindles should fit perfectly on the drop spindles. It must be the wrong spindles or they are possibly defective.

Re: drop spindles

The last set of Belltech spindles were boxed wrong.
But your spindles should have a number cast into them.
Theyre not 3100 or 3120 spindles are they?
