For Jeep CJ's with manual locking hubs, the Crown Automotive Steering Spindle is a quality replacement that restores the smooth floating ride when the hubs are not engaged. Spindles carry the bulk of the vehicles weight at the wheel, unlike conventional axles that carry the weight on the axle shafts and bearings. With the weight carried on the spindle and the hubs disengaged the wheels float easier and the vehicle does not consume as much fuel to keep moving forward. When the spindle or bearing goes bad, you may hear some grinding or feel wobbling at the front end. Install a new Crown Automotive Steering Spindle to restore the Jeeps ride to the factory standards.
