Need help with 4 runner spindle issue

[Wyatt_cato]

posting for a buddy on here and was curious if any of you could help him out. He’s got a 96 4wd 4 runner with bilsteins and Camburg uppers with the uniball conversion. This is now his second time blowing out his uniball and was wondering if anyone out there knows a permanent fix for this? He’s gone through 2 sets of spindles and I just want to lead him in the right direction before he goes and buys a 3 rd set

Has he been using c-clips on the slug? Is the lower spacer fitting snugly into the top of the slug?

Ya c-clips were used and and a shop installed it for him so not sure how snug it was.

Weld it in. Mine from TC has been welded in for longer than the 9 years I’ve owned the truck and have never had an issue.

A sligtly wider foot print (snap ring) may work, or perhaps the grove being poi ted at may be abit worn, causing it to slip out.

I welded mine in on my camburg kit and beat on it for years and never had a problem. Also doa spindle gusset so he won't have to worry about needing to replace the spindle in the future because of bending.

all the ones I have seen with those slugs, they are welded in as mentioned above, I would also put a spindle gusset on while your at it! If you guys need any help I have a few openings for smaller jobs like this! Have plenty of experience with toyotas
