View Full Version : 06+ 450R Spindle Mod

I'm going to contact a machine shop and see how much it would cost to modify the 06+ Spindles to move the top ball joint hole 1/4" inward or further from the hub depending on how you imagine it. I believe that alone should be enough to make a drastic change to the scrub radius of the spindles and seeing that they are so much cheaper then the 04-05 it should be a cheap mod. I can easily fill in the hole (not sure on proper fill material) with my TIG or MIG and even redrilling the holes but I don't have a tie rod reamer yet.

I haven't done exact measurements yet but once I get my wheels (DWT 4+1) in I'll do more precise measurements because I'd like to maintain +1 to the scrub to compensate for tire roll and such.

Anyone have any input or thoughts about this?

Anyone know what reamer I should get? Trying to find the proper degree either 7 or 8 degree.
