So im looking for a driver side spindle/knuckle for my wifes moms car. Someone decided to strip out the holes where the slide pins bolt in. Is there any source for a new one or is a scrap yard my only option? If scrap yard what tools should i expect to take with me. (Dont have the car with me to get what i need)

 

take assortment of tool.metric wrenches,and sockets some times you can buy from auto part store.if money is a issue find a you-pull it salvage yard. they may have a two dollar entry fee. good luck

 

Ill prbably check a yard today. Id like to keep it as cheap as possible for her. I looked at a video last night and got a general idea of what i should take.

 

I got lucky and found the part just laying on the ground already removed.

 

awesome .. have fun !

 

We went and found a bunch of newer style ones. Took a bunch of tools. Almost gave up when my dad found one sitting on the ground. Took it to my work ran it through our parts washer to clean it up. And used my big hammer to remove the hub (sounded like it had a bad bearing) and now i get to replace it tomorrow and feel safer that her car is in better condition. Im going to plan on using a slide hammer hub puller on her car instead though.

 

Installed the part today. Everything came apart super easy. (Helps having a slide hammer hub puller) reinstalled everything in less than a hour and a half. Start to finish.
