bored dana 60 spindles???

[97trxuszj]

I am curious who is running with their rear d60s that have 35 splines that had there spindles machined, how they are holding up. I am thinking of building up a cheap rear 60 and just get the spindles bored out. if I had the cash I would get the d60/14 hybrid but thats out of the question. this is going under a grand cherokee with 38's

I bored mine and I'm not too worried about it. The outside diameter of a 14 bolt spindle (stock 35 spline) and a 30 spline D60 spindle is the same, along with a D70. They they dont get as thin as everyone says.

100 to 200 depends where you go. If you need a number pm me I have a couple people who have done quite a few for me and friends

You sure about that?

Is it done on a lathe, or is there an "attachment" that goes on the axle to act as a guide or something?

Attached jig/ tool.

Did mine on a lathe, it would be easier with a horizontal mill or a 90 degree head on a vertical mill.

Gotcha...I just figured they didn't want to do them for you but anyone else is OK.:haha:

The one I saw screws in place of the spindle nut and has a boaring bit inside. I'm thinking it's kinda spendy.

BTW the 14 bolt is 30 spline 1.69" shaft, and a D60 35 spl. is 1.50", D60 30 spline is 1.31". Got my specs off of Pirate.

Randys ring and pinion sells the jig/tool to do this, runs about 550+ tax.
