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?

I just had the HUB and bearings replaced in the driver side front of my car and my ABS light was coming on too, he said it was because of the bearing. The mechanic at the toyota dealership where i had it all fixed said it was the worst he had ever seen in his life.

and about 3 weeks befor all this went wrong i just got the CV joints replaced aswell.

so i havent been very happy with my car lately, but now that its fixed and clean i like it again. biggrin.gif
