Tire Carrier Hinge Kit (Mega Spindle)

Super solid and very well made. Smooth machining and perfect fit. Bearings are strong and even the cutter pin is quality. To top it off, Made in the USA! Will be buying another when building the other side swing arm.

Solid steel shaft, precision machining (for a snug bearing fit) tapered angular contact roller bearings, seal and dust cap all fit perfectly. The zerk (grease nipple) is a great touch to keep water out and hinge operating smoothly for years. Great value for the DIY’er building a swing away tire carrier

Nice kit. Would use again. This is a great kit, I would give 5 stars, but the dust cap is very thin and soft definitely a cheap import cap

I bought the Mega spindle as I will be using it in building a tire carrier bumper that will be carrying a 35” tire, 3 gallon gas can, & maybe a hiLift jack so I wanted something that will hold up to the abuse. The primary selling point for this one over others was that the shaft is made of chromoly steel which is far more durable. When I received it, I was plesently surprised that the races were already pressed into the barrel.The only thing I wish it had was a spot for a grease zerk. However, there may be some customers that would prefer not having one, it is a product that could fit many needs. A hole could easily be drilled and taped to screw in a zerk if desired. Be sure to install the correct order. Check out YouTube videos if needed, unfortunately no instructions are given with the product. However, if you’re buying this item you are probably mechanically inclined enough to figure it out. Great USA made product!!👍

This spindle worked for my application, and was a good price. However this spindle broke in half while driving on a paved highway. Thankfully no cars were on the road. I would ONLY advise this product if nothing more than a tire will be on your swingout. I now have to replace this part, I wish I would have spent the extra money for one from another company. The part broke just under the bottom bearing. The bearing size on the standard and mega are the same, the mega has a larger bottom section, which is hidden in the bumper and does not add strength to the center or top part of the spindle.

This worked out great on my jeep, great product.

Good quality allowed my son and I to fabricate in an afternoon
