Big Bear spindle HELP!!!

[400exrider707]

Ok heres the story. Building a buggy, we ordered some parts from a used atv shop. We bought what we though were 2000 big bear 4x4 front end parts. We are planning on using the front end stuff for our rear-end. We grabbed one of the spindles/knuckles and designed the rear of our drivetrain around this part. Almost a year later, we're comparing the two knuckles and we find out that the two are different!!! So come to find out the one that we designed our whole frame around is the one that is NOT the 2000 big bear part. It is very similar but just a little shorter. We need to use this shorter one!!! If anyone out there with an earlier year big bear could post a pic of the spindle that would be awesome. Or at least some measurements would help a lot. I tried calling the place and they're number is now disconnected, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and gals.

Thanks but thats not going to cut it, I need a zoomed in well-lit shot. I have two spindles that are nearly identical and only one will fit what we're doing. What year is that one by the way?

Thats the problem I have no clue what Im looking for. The spindle that we designed around is not a 2000 big bear spindle. We have one 2000 and one we have no clue. We designed around the one that we have no clue about. It has no part numbers or anything on it, so this is pretty much my last resort. It looks very similar to the 2000 big bear spindle, but its just a little shorter.

I cant thank you enough for your help with this, because this is pretty much my last lead. lol Thanks!

hey 400ex rider, why dont you post pics of the two spindles you have, so people can see what you are actually looking for. seems like it would be easier to figure out that way. maybe its not even a big bear spindle you have.
