Installation notes
Fitting requires removal of wheel hub and drum. Note: when fitting the spindle, the steering knuckle must be generously packed with grease. Replace the inner axle seals during this work. Consult the technical manual for the correct sequence and torque settings.
Compatibility
Note: wheel spindles from different vehicle types are not always interchangeable. DUKW spindles do not fit CCKW trucks and vice versa, for example. Always verify the vehicle type and axle design (Timken split-type or banjo-type) before ordering.
Historical context
The wheel spindle is one of the most heavily loaded components of the front axle assembly, particularly on 6x6 trucks which combine both steering and drive functions in the front axle. The robust design was engineered to withstand severe terrain conditions.
