[Shotimes] Pulling upon acceleration

[Epperly]

The spindle on a front drive doesn't rotate it just attaches the bearing to
the strut. The hub rotates in the bearing. If the spindle was bent you
couldn't align it correctly. If the hole for the bearing is bad the
machinist should know that. It would be a sloppy fit. There is nothing on
the spindle that moves, it is just a chunk of cast iron.
        IMHO, Ken
