Re: Drop Axle ?

Another comment on Sid. He will either do your axle (that takes time because it takes a number and gets in line) or sell you an axle outright and charge you the core deposit or you send your axle in as a core. The only people I have ever seen fuss are those who sent their axle in and wanted their exact axle back and complained about the wait time. That is on any and all boards that I am on.

But who knows, someone may have one that they are pulling out and contact you via PM.

Good point mr48. I opted to buy one of his and when it was ready he called me, I removed mine and sent it to him to swap the spindles and do king pins. He was 8-10 weeks out when I called to place a deposit, but he called me in about 6-7weeks ready for mine. I was only without an axel for about a week and a half. Removing the axel only took a couple hours, installing, packing bearings etc took a bit longer.
