Thanks for having the detailed explanation showing shim/Oring etc orientation. BTW after around 29 times I get the parts need to be Greased when installing.
You tube strikes gold again man, love these videos 🤟
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Glad I could help😁
Keep them coming! Straight to the point and informative!
Thanks, Alex! Lots more to come😀
right on dude
Incredible video thanks!
Thanks, so much! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Stay Rad!
This is awesome! Do you not do the dust cover and dust caps for dropped spindles?
King pin needs to be machined to accept dust caps.
Thanks for the video! It helps me a lot! I have a question. On early dropped spindles, do you put just the o-ring? Or not even the o-ring?
Thanks!
Early 20mm link pins don't use the o-ring. The torsion arms mating surface is flat. There's no place for the o-ring to seat. Just shims with the Early 👍
Can you rebuild the king pins on my superbeetle
Looking for the link to see how to measure the offset up on the t two volkswagen for setting me a link, please
Nice one thanks a lot, setting up a set the same as these at the moment, what size o'ring do you use?
Great explanation
I'm not sure on the O-ring size. Haven't had to buy them in years. You can look at the sizes available and measure what you've got. I know they're a common size.
My '66 Bus has inner end cap shims that are stepped, do I use those or discard them?
Do you still do flip spindles . Im in miami Florida 33186
Nope
Great video, I was trying to find your handy little shim chart but couldn’t locate it on your web site. Could you please redirect me. Thanks
Mike! Thanks for the sub and for watching, my man! Much appreciated. Yeah, I've trimmed down the website offerings quite a bit, ha, ha. I threw the chart back up there and a link to my front end playlist. You can find that chart here: widefive.net/Spindle-Installation-Instructions-p131869409
Do the shims effect the camber of the tire? I have one wheel that is not vertical, it tilts out at the top.
Technically all that is built into the design of the spindle. ONLY alignment spec you can change is the toe. If someone put the wrong shim stack in there it can be off. If the link pins aren't tight and adjusted properly you could see this. More common is a bent spindle shaft or torsion arms. Check your shim stack first 👍
What are the size of the shims for that chart? I found the chart but am going to have to order more or all of them.
Size depends on model year. You can just measure the ones you have. Thickness is 0.50mm
@@WideFive thanks man
@@crafteygamer4129 Fur Shure 🤜💥🤛
So if you're putting the same amount of inner shims top and bottom how does that have any affect on the offset since your adding matched numbers?
Well, it doesn't, ha, ha. The factory offset is correct in that situation of 7mm offset. Any variance from that 7mm needs corrected 👍
Hi there, this is gold, this offset setting apply for stock height?
Absolutely! Dropped, stock, Bus or Beetle. Offset is measured the same way. A little difference in shim count with Beetle depending on what year it is, but this basically applies to all King/Link VW's👍
I appreciate it man, thanks
@@romanquintana1574 You're very welcome! Always happy to help my VW people 👍
Do you sell 64 to 67 bus spindles? What does it take to switch 63 bus spindles to a 64.
I rarely have spindles to sell outright. '63 o my spindles would need to have the king pins changed to fit the later 22mm link pins on '64-'67 arms.
