I have a Ford 850. The axle/spindle stops are worn to the ppoint that the front tires tend to lay over if i made a sharp turn or hit a rock. This happens more on the right side than the left, but both sides are worn.
There isn't much slop in the bearings and the spindle bushings seem good.
Has anyone tried building the stops back up with some weld then grinding them to the correct specs? Or any other fix? Or am I looking at new axle sections and spindles?
Since I know the stops are worn, I can ease into my turns and use the brakes for sharp turns, but would prefer to not have the occasional tire layover and steering wheel snap when I hit small obstructions. Any thoughts?
