![]() I noticed that one of my spindle flanges is approximately 3mm (.120") shorter than the other (undamaged) one.
![]() Now, when tightening the spindle castle nut the washer would sit against the collar on the spindle, leaving the flange loose. This came of a slip fitted bearing assembly off a used trailing arm assembly and I did not have the pleasure to drive the car with this garbage. I'm sure it made some weired noises back there ![]() ![]()

![]() Yup....that sounds funny all right, but how about welding the flange to the u-joint?
[IMG] ![]() One would assume someone couldn't compress the bearing cups enough to get the retaining ring in the groove. [IMG] ![]() I bought these off CF classified and advertised in very good condition and with flanges. When I protested to the seller, he claimed to not know anything about the welded flanges. He was responsible enough to buy me a used replacement flange. The other side was OK and appeared to not be warped. I'm certain someone has welded their flange to the spindle.

At least you got two flanges, check if they're worn like the one I have.... |
