The steering in my Ford 640 has gotten to the point it needs some attention, so I am going to start with the spindles and bushings. The wear is so much that you can see the top of the spindles walk in the tube when turning. After removing both spindles and measuring the bushing contact area, here is the dimensions of my spindles:
Top: 1.225"-1.235"
Bottom: aprox 1.34"
The bottom dimension seems to be good, but the top are worn quite a bit. I suspect being a loader tractor contributed to the wear. Left is worn more than the right, not sure why.
My original intention was to replace the spindle bushings, but now I am wondering if i should replace the spindles as well?
I would appreciate any input from fellow Ford owners.
