AFX spindles
 
Hello Im new on the board and I was referred by someone on another site. I own a 1971 Nova that Im interested in upgrading my spindles to the AFX tall spindles. I noticed on their webpage that these particular spindles are backordered. I also tried calling them but their mailbox is full. Im still waiting for an e-mail response. I already have some C5 brakes and 17 inch wheels and would like these spindles to complete my project. I was wondering if their was anything else I needed and if anyone knew how I could order or help me order these spindles.

Thanks

Just depends on how long you are willing to wait.....

They closed there doors? I havent seen anyone offer anything remotely to what they sell. Im just wondering how long they are backordered. I guess Ill take a chance and do an online order if noone has any info.

your right nobody does make a spindle for these cars that can hold a flame to the AFX spindle.
On that note yes ATS closed thier"shops" doors but ATS is still in buisness.
just call them during buisness hours and order them direct through tyler so youll know exacty what to expect.

I just placed an online order. I hope I will be ok. It asked me to put in the balljoints and control arms that I will be using. I just wasnt sure if I needed steering arms.

Their website is still up and running and filling orders. I just spoke with Tyler 2 weeks ago and ordered a LS road race oil pan.

The AFX spindle is on back order I believe because of the the hubs.

Yeah like I said I placed the order already. I just got nervous when I seen backordered. The last thing I bought that was backordered took like 5 months.

FYI...

ATS is STILL in business... they have only closed their store/service front end. The e-commerce end is still up and running.

The AFX spindle have been on back order due to a CNC machine "driver card" failure. That physical card has been replaced and the spindles are once again in production. I would say that spindle sets will be shipped shortly.

The LS7/LSx oil pans are waiting on the internal tubes to be remanufactured due to a sub-manufacturer's oversight in a specific diamention. ATS QA found this issue and have taken the necessary steps to correct the issue.
