[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 393331, member: 1931"] It happens. Welding on new spindles is never a good idea, unless the shop has a lot of knowledge or a way to verify they are straight. Back in the day we did it out of necessity, but they never were perfect. With your wheels on, measure from center of the wheel to center of the other wheel. This will give you an approximate hub face. Note that hub face is always a whole number, never 1/2's or fractions. You'll also need to know the spring centers, and hub stud measurements. Is it a 5 on 4.5" ( most common on boats) [/QUOTE]
