Spindle!

The spindle vs knuckle..... I secretly hate when people call them spindles... Because they're not spindles! A spindle is what older two wheel drive trucks and straight axle front ends used. They are also what some rear wheel drive cars would use. A raptor has no "spindle" because instead we have one piece hub designs that bolt to the STEERING KNUCKLE. The spindle is the shaft that would secure and give the removable wheel bearings a place to ride. By calling them spindles, you're basically saying your raptor is a two wheel drive, or a Datsun pick up, or crown vic, or the rear suspension of a Honda civic. At this point, we might as well call the 6.2 a V6. Anyways. Continue on.

My STEERING KNUCKLES

Yours look like mine ... well except yours are way prettier with that fresh paint. Wish mine still were that shinny after all the abuse they have seen.

Oh they're not pretty anymore. Think I took that pic seven months ago??
