Default I think i need to change my spindles.

My passenger front end is making all sort of noise and i think its because of the spindle. Its putting my top balljoint in a bind so its breaking the grease boot so theres nothing to lubricate it. I think instead of prolongning this im just goint to replace them with mcgaughys 2 inch drop spindle. I think this spindle because everything is going to be put back to stock. Instead of the belltech spindles i have right now im sure everyone else had to flip there control arms. Anyone else have this problem with there belltech spindles? I can feel some sort of popping in my steering wheel when im slowing down to a stop then i can hear it make a sort of clicking noise bad. When i put the truck on the lift i saw that the boot was broken and there is no grease in the ball joint.

anyone have any luck with mcgaughys drop spindle?A buddy we drag race with is the head honcho service man at a dealership and he said thats the best spindle on the market.

I run DJM lca's on my truck, but if I were to run a spindle I would definately go with the McGuaghy's and nothing else. Belltech spindles for the NBS Chevy trucks sucks plain and simple.
