Re: Belltech 3121 Spindle Help/Question/Rant

I was hoping you would jump in Lolife...the lower ball joint seats and fits perfect. The upper seats but sits too far into the spindle...as in the castle nut is tightened down past the cotter pin. Its on though. Just don't really think it looks right. And the tie rod ends are nowhere near correct. They sink all the way into the spindle. They would have no room to move with suspension flex. I will post pics. And Mods please move this to the C10 area. I had no idea I posted in the Burb area. Sorry.

Third pic in you can see the cotter pin hole and how far up the threads the castle nut is. Last pic is the outer tie rod end in the spindle without the boot on so as to show the zero clearance the tie rod has to move. The other pics are the a arms as requested.

I will say this though...Sarah at Belltech has been great to work with. Now if I can only get this sorted out so I can drive me truck. Any thoughts?
