Spindles are carried by [[steering knuckles]] or "uprights". Although, the terms "steering knuckle" and "upright" are sometimes used interchangeably with "spindle", they refer to different parts. =Challenges= =Approaches= [[File:Spindle diagram.jpg|thumb]] * [https://www.couplemate.com.au/trailer-caravan-axles/trailer-stub-axle/40mm-square-axle-stub/ 40mm square stub axle] * [https://www.truckspring.com/products/FlexiRide-Torsion-Half-Axles-Non-Adjustable-4-4-Inch-Bolt-Circle-Hubs-935-lbs-Capacity__FF-93-1.aspx FlexiRide Torsion half axle] and [https://www.truckspring.com/products/FlexiRide-Base-Plate-550-lbs-935-lbs-Half-Axles__FS30-3.aspx mounting plate] * [https://www.rigidhitch.com/sp-35684-axle-spindle-square-tapered.html RigidHitch.com: Trailer Axle Spindle for 1-3/8 to 1-1/16 I.D.
