I haven't got mine out yet, but they are really loose. Does anyone know the dimensions? ie: are they a standard ID/OD or do I need to go to Ingersoll (Brian).

Also, these have thrust washers top and bottom of the spindle. Anyone ever look for and find a needle bearing replacement?

Google "poor mans power steering" and adjust the sizes if necessary. Grainger / McMaster-Carr

The problem with this is that there is very little vertical distance available. Just two thin thrust washers. So I was wondering if anyone has found one thin enough. I haven't so far.

How about machining the top surface of the axle off right where the spindles come through, to allow the PM PS thrust bearing modification to be used?
