the other day i grenaded an axle and joint. when i did this i managed to ruin the spindle by tearing a bolt outta it and bending the spindle.
so i call warn, they tell me the part # and give me a (somewhat) local shop to order from..
so i call hoaks outta lancaster, order me a 70$ spindle.
they call back in an hour and say, we have a little problem but i think you will like our plan.. he asks me if i use my vehicle hard, and run big tires, i said ahh yeahh pretty much, then he goes into how warn is now heat treating the spindles and there this much stronger.. yada yada.. then he says the problem is the price is now 200$ for the spindle <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> (im thinkin i dont like this plan)
so then he says that they are selling a kit form with both spindles, seals and bearings.. and this is sellin for 400 to 500 $ <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> (im thinkin this plan is even worse!)
so then he tells me that himself and warn came up with this.... i pay for the 2nd day air........ i said ok, and what for the spindle? he said the kit will be on my porch friday and all i will be billed for is shipping <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> i said hell yeahh ship away before someone changes there mind... im still shocked, i didnt even ask for warranty i know what i did was beyond the limits of theses parts, and warn offers me one... i am impressed
