I seem to be having bad luck with bending the knuckles on my Apex....This year I was installing some oilite bushings and couldn't get the spindal inside the knuckles, put a straight edge on the knuckle and the were both tweaked...thought ah 4 seasons not to bad. Bought 2 new ones went for a ride yesturday and whala another bent one....didn't even think I hit anything to bad... Has anyone else had problems with these bending(or bad luck for me)...maybe those oilite bushings are to tight...

Anyone have a used RH Apex mountain knuckle/spindal assy for sale....

Thanks

Don't bother with them I too had problems with them bending which lead to very hard steering. Cut your losses and get timbersled front set up.

I've bent 2 spindles in 4 years with my sled, going to do something else next time.
