Please share your advice on the following:
I noticed wheel bearing play on my van, ordered bearings & seal and started pulling it apart last night. I noticed that the spindle nut was unlocked and very loose. (Note to self, check the other wheel.)
The spindle now has very tiny ridges or grooves on it. Kind of close to the texture of the fingerprint part of your finger. Common sense tells me that it should be smooth and therefore should be replaced. Can it be serviced? Can anyone predict how long new bearings would last on the existing spindle?
Also, I can't find the part on rockauto (the spindle). Would it be listed under a different name or is it dealer only?
Thanks very much.
