Re: Front Spindles and Bearing Spacers

Actually, the thing is elegantly simple. The interference fit between the bearing retainer nut, inner race of outer bearing, spacer/shims, the inner race of the inner bearing, and finally the inner spindle shoulder creates a rotating column around a solid shaft.
