Bearings keep going bad, Bent spindle Options

[jmcdanie007]

About 6 months ago I ran over a curb in my 94 ST. There was a wobble in my front driver side tire that was so bad that the inside of my rib would rub my brake caliper. I took it to the shop and the guy told me that the bearing was bad. He replaced the bearing and told me that if the spindle was bent that the bearing would go out again pretty quickly. Sure enough, 3 months later the wobble is coming back. According to the shop I now need to change my spindle. Is the spindle part of the knuckle on 6G celicas? Ive been looking all over (via internet and repair manuals) for a how-to on changing a spindle and I cant find it. I think im just searching for the wrong thing. Anyone had to replace their spindle before? Any suggestions?

the spindle is the entire thing that attches to the strut and to the lower suspension arm. This includes the hub and bearing. You should be able to get them at a toyota wrecker for less than 100.00 before shipping. I got one from TAP a few years back for 75.00 out the door.
