[QUOTE="CrustyJeep, post: 802363, member: 15960"] Seen some failures posted on Pirate. If the spindle is supporting the entire weight if the tire and rack and whatever, all the bouncing around can cause it to fatique and crack due to cyclic stress. You need to fully support the weight of the other end of the carrior, otherwise the rack becomes a big long heavy lever. Comet makes a good suggestion too... A Dana44 spindle and hub would make a good solid hinge, for almost free, and it should be quite a bit stronger than a trailer spindle. Plus if you bolt it on, it's a spare spindle and lockout hub if you run a 44 :D [/QUOTE]
