MR O,
Thanks for the reply and understanding of where and how things happen.
As far as the spindles go, we have had problems only when driver error occurs, so far. They are a weak point after you beef up the suspension, and the steering rack becomes the weak point when you beef up the spindles, which we offer- but it all depends on how the car is driven. As you know it is a long path to eliminate the next weak area of the whole lineup. This is why we offer tie-rod extensions, not replacements due to them ripping the rack apart. In my honest opinion everything needs to be replaced(if you want to be in that RACE catagory).....
Suspension, spindles, rack, frame supports, engine, clutch system.. the list goes on for dollars and dollars, and again-it depends on what you are going to do with the car.
Get it to the level that you are comfortable with, drive it-have fun, if you break something welcome to the club. Sometimes we seem to forget that this car was made to haul hay. It sure is a fun hobby for all levels though. It really helps when people support the products they sell to come up with answers for the problems, we try very hard.
Thanks again,
Taylor
