Applications

Tech Note 1: Before Installing 
Before installing your new spindle, lube the bearing, seals, and thrust washer with QU90018 grease. Also, apply some Anti-Seize Compound to the mating surfaces between the spindle and steering knuckle.

Tech Note 2: Assembly Order
On 1975-1993 Dodge and 1977-1991 GM Dana 60 Front Axles, the assembly order is: Spindle, Caliper Anchor Plate, Disc Brake Splash Shield.

Tech Note 3: Spindle to Knuckle Nut
The spindle, caliper anchor plate, and brake splash shield are secured to the steering knuckle with six 1/2" Class C metal lock nuts. I STRONGLY recommend you replace these nuts with new QU95037 nuts as locking nuts will usually lose some locking strength with each reuse. As an alternative, you can apply threadlocker to the threads. To protect my customers, I used to apply threadlocker to NEW nuts to minimize the chances of my customers losing a spindle. That and the proper installation torque is really cheap insurance.
