Much more than what the control arms bolt to, spindles just don’t get enough credit when it comes to front suspension.
A Spindle Effects Suspension Performance
The wheel spindle and hub design has a dramatic effect on how effective a suspension is; it’s the central interaction point for the control arms and the steering. Plus, the geometry built into the spindle itself can make all the difference in how a car handles and how the rest of the suspension needs to be designed to correctly balance the vehicle.
Design Geometry and Materials Matter
The spindle and hub assembly is the interface between the suspension and the wheels and tires. Without proper attention to geometry, a drop spindle to lower the stance may actually worsen the car handling.
A properly designed suspension can only do its job if the spindle has the correct geometry and can effectively transfer the load.
Radial-X™ Spindle
Redefining Best-In-Class
Our design is unique because it’s modular and configurable, rather than being a single forging locked into a specific geometry like others. This is accomplished only from professional level engineering during design phase and extremely accurate machining.
Lightweight billet spindles offer unsurpassed strength, rigidity, and versatility all in a tidy package.
Key Features
- Main upright body
- Lower ball joint mount and steering arm
- Upper ball joint mount
- Unitized hub and wheel bearing assembly (non-serviceable) with integral wheel speed sensor
The Radial-X assembly features 4 components that can be services easily if necessary.
