    I've got front spindles tha t I bought from speedway.

    One of them is bent(long story).you cant tell until you try and put the pads on the caliper(make sense?).

    its very slight and I've even mounted and ran it.no vibration or wierd steering problems.

    now,the question.CAN IT BE REPAIRED,straightend etc...

    just curious.......thanx

    Did it get bent before,or after you bought it ? :confused:

    If it's a forging,it could be repaired.
    In theory.

    And I thought I was a cheap *******.... :rolleyes:

    You are NEVER going to trust driving on that spindle. so.
    Buy a new one.
    It'll be cheaper than replacing the spindle, axle, oil pan, lamp post and your shorts and ****ies if it breaks.

    That's cool, they're cheap.
    Keep it in your rod for the next time you go out cruising with the guy with the inliner and no front brakes... or next time a half warmed up Y block needs a boost of happy juice.
    I use it mainly to start the lawn edger when the gas in it is stale. :rolleyes: ;) :cool:
