I had them swapped over to drop spindles to keep the geometry the same. hoping my hubs wont go out as fast but it might be because the way I drive and the roads suck also

McNaugtys Drop spindles I recommend had the Eibach springs and went through hubs and bushing a lot faster.

springs should have nothing to do with wear on hubs or bushings. how many did you replace and at what miles did you replace those parts?
