Put on my new chromoly spindles. (EMPI) but both spindles are threaded left hand. (Passenger side is wrong) will the nut back off? It has an Alan head set screw. Opinions please. Thanks. |

i had one that somebody had welded a passenger spud on the drivers side and it never came off but it would nould get a little loosen up a little from time to time and it had the clamp style nuts also |

front wheels are over rated anyway. But for real it will be fine just lock the spindle nut down tight.

I'm running the aluminum nuts with the set screws. Guess I can buy another left hand thread nut and be done. But figured they were different for a reason. If some of you guys would just run it like it is let me know. Just wanted input to see if any of you have ran into this. |

The other thing I will add is I have more chromolly splinters in my fingers and hands than those spindles do. It's amazing on how much stuff is made from chromolly when it's all 1018 or 1020. And when someone says "made from 300M", you better have a spec sheet to show me, ever try to by the stuff? |

I can prolly call them and they will send me another spindle but if I can run it like it is safely I will. And yes I agree for the most part with some of their parts, the quality is not there in some instances
