## 🔌 Function

The spindle acts as the fixed or rotating shaft that carries and locates a moving engine component, allowing it to pivot or turn on a defined axis. Correct spindle condition is essential to maintain accurate alignment and free movement of the assembly it supports.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Visible wear, scoring or grooving on the bearing surface
-   Excessive play or rattle in the component the spindle supports
-   Seizure or stiff, notchy movement of the mounted assembly
-   Corrosion, pitting or surface damage from moisture ingress or loss of lubrication
-   Bending or distortion of the shaft causing misalignment or uneven wear

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Three of these spindles are fitted per engine, so plan a full set of three for a rebuild, not a single item
-   At 1.16 kg this is a much heavier spindle than the light 45-47 mm items also listed as 'spindle' in this range - confirm you're ordering against the housing this part actually fits, not by name alone
-   Check the bush or bearing it rotates in for wear before fitting; a scored bore will mark a new spindle just as quickly as the old one
