Cracked Spindle!

[GTPgasm]

I put my 2002 Grand Prix gtp up on a lift for the first time since I bought it a month ago to find out it has a cracked spindle. Does anyone know where to buy a spindle besides eBay or junkyard. I called the big name auto stores and they all said they can't order spindles

GP's don't have spindle's... You mean a steering knuckle?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Same thing.

[02NavyBlue]

Well it's not the same unfortunately because if you ask the guys at the auto parts stores for a spindle they will say they don't carry it. If you said steering knuckle they should have found one, dorman makes them. They're tougher than oem too.

[GTPgasm]

Well that's it I guess. You would think one of the stores would of said hey D***Head

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Parts counter people at many places arent very smart lol.

Seriously get one off ebay . but first where how did this happen ??

[02NavyBlue]

I've seen them split completely from people hitting curbs, and crack from people hitting them to separate a balljoint/tie rod end.

I don't know. I assume previous owner since I've only put 50 miles on my self and no hard hits or bumps

[91parkave]

Id assume then this was a pretty hard impact and the car should drive like complete asshole with a cracked spindle. which also means you should probably inspect the control arms and subframe mounting points for any obvious signs, crack in the welds etc..usually the knuckle will outlast the car, unless you get plowed into by something.

That's whats suprised me everything else is fine. Are the knuckles cast because it almost looks like how a casting defect looks

funny you say that, one guy swears they are al. but we are fairly certain they are cast iron. put a magnet on it since you got it in hand, or will soon.

Im sure my 97 had a cast knuckle however my GXP knuckle is definatley aluminum

[GTPgasm]

Just looked it up and Oem and Dormans are cast

[02NavyBlue]

Mine are aluminum.

[GTPgasm]

Are they Oem or replacement?

[02NavyBlue]

OEM. But I'd prefer them to be iron like the dorman ones.

[GTPgasm]

And sorry Oem is Aluminum..... Cast Aluminum
