## 🔌 Function

Forms the pivot or bearing axis the assembly turns on, carrying the load through its journals while the parts around it rotate or swing.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Play or knock at the pivot the spindle carries
-   Stiff, notchy or uneven movement of the assembly
-   Journals found scored, stepped or polished bright
-   Corrosion pitting where the spindle has been sitting in water
-   Spindle found bent, so the assembly binds at one point of its travel
