<p>Wagenswest started making these drop spindles many many years before the large companies came along and flooded the market with poor quality imported sketchy junk spindles. We still make them, with attention to quality and geometry, 2 things the other companies seam not to care about. This quality thing, is why Wagenswest has decided to stay small and focus on making parts that work good. We build these spindles in house and typically you can expect a 2 to 3 week wait to get a set after you order. THANK YOU!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>4-6 week lead time.</em></strong></p>
<p>1968 &#8211; 79 bay bus 2.5 lifted ball joint spindles.</p>
<p>These are heavy duty, welded and lifted spindles for your late VW bus.</p>
<p>These lifting spindles will bolt directly to your 1968-79 bus without any mods and they have been drilled at a custom angle for your stock speedometer cable.</p>
<p>On the disk brake lifted spindles we put the driver’s side spindle stub on the right side and passenger on the left. We do this because they fit best like this and the spindle pinch nuts are more than adequate to retain the hub. These spindles will widen your track by &gt;.5&#8243; inch + per side.</p>
