So my wheel fell off....

[3smm132]

I love my explorer to death! 2wd is penty for me. I was on my way home from big bear, and driving in a straight line at about 85 mph...... the front right wheel snapped off at the spindle???? i had a 3 inch lift spindle on it from procomp, i called them and they said there is nothing they can do....

does any one else know of a company that sells any type of spindle lift for a 95???

i've been told 95s are different that 96s and newer......

any one???? its my daily driver but sits in the driveway..... with 3 wheels..... PLEASE HELP!!!!

If the spindle broke, then thats pretty easy to repair as a new spindle can be bought from your local parts store (or dealer). But if the knuckle broke, then thats more difficult.

This exact same thing just happened to carlover. You might throw him a message to discuss those spindles.

Read about it in his build thread here starting at post 227:

ah Pro comp Nice! Fabtech and Procomp 2wd spindles will do this every so often, or so I have heard !!!

I am amazed that you have 3" lift knuckles on your 2wd and have never heard of this happening before??
