I didnt get the "industry shortage in raw materials." for the steering arms though. What do you mean? A shortage of metal to do the forgings? Or a shortage of suppliers making the arms. A lil confusing for me. Cause I would think if you had the materials for the spindles the arms would just be another supply, just more.
Is there really a shortage of raw metal? Almost sounds like WII days. I had NO idea raw materials were in a shortage now. If so its an eye opener for me. I had no clue there was a raw material shortage.
What type of steel are you guys needing? I have a brother in law in West Virgina and they are still foundering large amounts of alloy steel from what he has told me. And they are on overtime, three shifts a day and working long days. He sure as heck doesnt know who the purchasers are. I just assumed it was on the open market. And its bulk steel. Not in any usable shape. Just rail cars full of quality steel that gets shipped out.
I had no idea there was a shortage of raw steel. Interesting cause some one is buying it up. 24/7. JR

it actually has nothing to do with the Spindle it is the 7075 aluminum that we use for the bolt on "A" and "G" body steering arms. it is a specific size we use and there is just none arround even the mills are out right now. who knows if it is just the size we use of if it is the material is in high demand
either way we will have some available.
