spindles
can you replace the axle without having to replace the spindle. I got one has quite a grove cut into it and just looking for a cheaper fix, if so anyone know where to buy them??

Not sure what you are askin here. Is the truck 4WD. If not, then there is no spindle on the axle. Attach some pics, it might help.

Yeah if you can get the ball joints out of the spindle without destroying them.

Is it the spindle itself or just the bearing race? You might just need a new bearing/race.

I thought the bearing race would be on the rotor? I'm all confused now.
