sorta confused on the difference between a hub vs spindle/knuckle and captive vs non-captive thing...
i know what a hub is, but ive usually always referred to it as the whole assembly. captive means its all together right? non-captive is its all together, but u can take it apart?



in that pic, i have the hub/spindle/knuckle right? and its non-captive also?

lol, sorry for the noob question..im sure someone else besides me will find this informative someday though.

oh, and im going to need to get a new bearing for that also right?

 

hi mang, I'm answering on AIM, but you can't read it. 02.gif

what do you want to do with hub?

you have non-captive

(captive is when brake rotor is bolted to spindel from the inside)

 

captive rotors have notches for the rims and the non-captive are pretty much flat. The captive rotors "capture" the wheel. It's an annoying feature and completely not needed.

 

Thats your hub, your spindle you took out, and your steering knuckle isn't there, unless you have it under your hub in the box tongue.gif

 

lol.
k good...

so here's my knuckle


now all i need is the bearing and its ready to bolt up, right?

 

hmm, but I think there is bearing and spindel on your knuckle?

 

^^ lol, where do you see a spindle on that knuckle tongue.gif

 

under the knuckle.

 

so....new bearing? or it came with a bearing?
ive never done or seen any of this stuff before...all new to me. thanks.

 

do you have a thing (spindel) that you can rotate on a knuckle?
