HELP!! issues with cst spindle

anthony1sibert · 06-29-2012, 03:26 PM

Hey guys I'm new here to cfans and I had a question about my cst lift spindles on my2wd canyon. I bought the kit about a year ago and just recently noticed that my end links for my sway bar grinded a hole through the side of my spindle. Is this common?I have the stock 6 inch end links on right now. I was thinking of putting smaller, beefier Moog end links on with a sway bar spacer to keep the same geometry. Will this work OK? Has anyone else experienced this problem? I figured this would be the cheapest alternative but I'm not sure if its the best way to go. Any and all insight would be greatly appreciated.

Has the front alignment been an issue? That sounds pretty suspicious that the end link gouged through the cast.

Pictures, hopefully somebody with a CST will read this and is able to provide input.

The alignment is fine and I've never had an issue with it. I've read up on it a little more and found out that owners of titans, f150s and our trucks are having issues with the cst spindles. No one seems to have an answer as to what to do besides cut back the top bolt on the end link but that doesn't really fix the problem
