The spindle features a straight 2-inch snout and specific caliper mount. Coleman Racing offers a GM to Wide-5 Hub adapter, which screws onto an early- to mid-'70s full-size GM spindle snout.

Checking rotor runout is important for all disc brake cars but it is particularly needed for C2 and C3 Corvettes because their rotors, front hubs and rear spindles were produced differently than ...

If you own a late-model 4x4, chances are you have unit bearings in your frontend. If you do a quick Google search, you'll find that these pieces of engineering marvel are cursed by many, and have ...

The Chevy spindles had the advantage of using hubs that were separate from the brake drums. And since Corvettes used essentially the same style spindles through 1962, you could remove the brake ...

Today's spindles deliver more power than previous generations, and allow variable-speed operation. Acceptance of myriad tool connections is another benefit that increases modern spindle-design ...

When the wheel hub spindle of a truck broke unexpectedly on the road, the situation called for quick thinking and expert repair. Mechanics first stabilized the truck, removed the damaged parts ...

We focus on tires here, mostly, but wheels and hubs, and the other gear that attaches tires to trucks, deserve attention too. Wheel-ends function as a system: the spindle, hub, and rim (or wheel ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and precision – the four factors of ...

We focus on tires here, mostly, but wheels and hubs, and the other gear that attaches tires to trucks, deserve attention too. Wheel-ends function as a system: the spindle, hub, and rim (or wheel ...

Lubricants influence the bearings’ heat-generation and heat-dissipation rates, and are important to determining the speed capability of the spindle. This is the third and final report in a series, ...

Specifically, the alignment and fit between the spindle shaft, housing and bearings are crucial for smooth and efficient operation. Why Spindle Component Fit Matters A proper fit ensures that ...
