Spindle spacer?

[jman11788]

Anyone ever seen this spacer or whatever you call this thing off a 2006 Tundra spindle? I know all spindles from 1998-04 Tacos and 2006 and below Tundra spindles work with our rigs.

Curious because if this is in fact a spindle spacer wouldn't it correct wheel alignments for all of the people that have lifts?

That spacer can't be stock issued. That part isin't listed in OEM Toyota parts.

That is some ghetto fab right there [emoji51]
Um, no; I wouldn't say that it would "correct wheel alignment".
It would do some real funky things with the suspension geometry, that's for sure.
I'm betting/guessing/assuming it's just one part in a bracket lift kit, and NOT to be used without the rest of the kit. With the bracket lift, the LCA's get dropped down. Because the UCA can really be dropped down, they add the spacer to keep proper geometry.
Again, just a guess, but I am pretty confident in that guess.

Edit-
Well, would ya look at that! [emoji12]

OT, sorry. But is this confirmed?

I checked the part numbers for the steering knuckles of the 1999-2006 Tundra and found that they're different from those of the 1996-2002 4Runner. If they do fit, what would be the advantage of using the 1999-2006 Tundra knuckles on a 1996-2002 4Runner?

The only difference is the dust shield. I would know because I replaced my spindles a couple of years ago with one to replace a wheel bearing. It's the easiest way to replace a wheel bearing. Just got to find one with low mileage and no rust

Thanks for the info! It does look ghetto but if an aftermarket uca corrects alignment why wouldnt this? I thought it corrected the caster and camber because it dropped down a couple inches lower?
