Bearings keep going bad, Bent spindle Options

[jmcdanie007]

About 6 months ago I ran over a curb in my 94 ST. There was a wobble in my front driver side tire that was so bad that the inside of my rib would rub my brake caliper. I took it to the shop and the guy told me that the bearing was bad. He replaced the bearing and told me that if the spindle was bent that the bearing would go out again pretty quickly. Sure enough, 3 months later the wobble is coming back. According to the shop I now need to change my spindle. Is the spindle part of the knuckle on 6G celicas? Ive been looking all over (via internet and repair manuals) for a how-to on changing a spindle and I cant find it. I think im just searching for the wrong thing. Anyone had to replace their spindle before? Any suggestions?

By spindle do you mean the brake spindle? That is just a cheap piece of metal that covers your rotors from rocks and such, its very thin.

I think what your referring to is the HUB. Its the piece that holds all your studs together and your wheel. If the HUB is worn out than no matter how many bearings you put in they will all get chewed up.

Its best to take this to a mechanic and have them pound it out and put a new one back in. If you do it yourself without a Hydraulic press you might end up not pressing it in all the way and making it worst off.
