I have installed spindles CLP-5557SP-OE (1957 belair ) which I purchased form Summitt racing. My question is they came with flat steel rings,( one each ) what are those for? Thank you
The spacer included in stock replacement spindle #5557SP-OE is a spindle nut spacer used when the castle nut goes on too far and does not engage with the cotter pin. We make these spindle pins slightly longer that stock to aid with disc brake kit installations.
