The stock left front stub-axle on all Sprites and Midgets is a type of cast iron. If you are using your car every day on the street, you probably don't care and in fact are pleased that they were able to produce the part so cheaply! BUT, if you are using your car with wide rims or sticky tires, you had better have the best. The stock front axles have a tendency to crack, so if you decide to take chance with your stock axles, please have them checked for cracks first. Our STEEL front axles are made from 4130 steel, precision machined and pressed and welded into a rebuilt front upright. They have a very generous radius on the critical edges where breakages occur. The steel will be extremely crack-resistant and provide a very strong bearing surface. In addition to the new steel axle, the hubs have been rebushed, reamed and come complete with new king pins!

Question:
Do these competition front stub axle spindles come assembled, or do I have to ream the bushings? Also, Do stock wheel studs work OK on a racing Bugeye or are there stronger ones available?
Answer:
Yes, they come with the the bushes installed and reamed.  And Lots of racers go to 7/16" studs. But others don't. You'd have to modify the wheels to take the larger studs, too. So, it's quite a  process.
Hope That Helps
