I went to replace the front rotors on my 86 and found a problem on the right side. There is play between the outer bearing seat and the outer bearing. The bearing seat has strange marks on it of shiny metal and dark metal. I am guessing that means I need a new spindle? (aka the steering knuckle) Will that interchange with the one on my 85 parts van? Thanks, Edward |
