Just changed the spindles to the Holz spindles. It appears that now I need to just toe, camber, and what not. Should all this be set to factory specs or are there different specs for the hold spindles?? If it is different anyone have the specs, I don't have them since I bought them used!

Just make sure your tow out is 1/8 to 1/4 as noted above or your sled will be extremely darty on the trail.

Click to expand...

the service manual has the best info on this..you need a 5/8" rod lik 48" long to set the camber/caster...get the bar from a local steel company for under $10...and the rest is with a tape measurer

1/2" copper pipe works great...5/8" OD

You can buy a 5' stick at Lowe's for $8

Okay so I have my new spindles ready to install. Now i'm just wondering if the bushings need to be in to set the camber? I have a 48" long 5/8" wooden dowel and it is pretty snug in the bushings. I also was wondering how to adjust the toe? I'm guessing that you would want to adjust the tie rod in the center and not the ones going to the spindles but how do you get to it? A quick response is greatly appreciated.
