Iq spindle differences, 2008, 2009 ?

[alsled]

Whats the difference between the 08 and 09 spindles besides the 09 being listed as lightwieght?

Any issues with the 09 going on a 06? I know the 08's will go.

08 and 09 are the same ... the 09 dragon and assault went a lightened version of the same spindle... The 2009 NON dragon/assault have the same spindle as the 2008's.

All spindles from 2006 - 2010 are interchangelbe using the stock tie rods.

At the same price.. I'd go with the Holz.

Good luck.

I'm assuming you are talking about the IQ-RMK and not the IQ-Racer????

I have the holtz on my sled I'm building. A buddy of mine who has a 06 wants to try newer spindles.

The only thing that worrys him and me a little with the holz are, to get the 42 c to c you have to run both the spacers on the outside, I can see the spindle bushings wearing . I'm also not set on the plastic bushings, I would have rather seen babbit or brass like the poo spindles use.

Not the Iq rmk, I'm the flatlander from NY.

Its a 06 Iq clasic chasis that I'm putting the liberty 800 in.

I thought the spindles were interchangeable on the 05 RMK's as well???? If not, may I ask why?

Ja..

they are interchangeable with 05 yes..but the 05 design was so poor that there is no reason to install them on something else..

MH is just saying that the 06-10 spindles can be interchanged between themselves and installed on the 05...however..the 06-07 are better then the 05s, i would junk the 06-07 as well..

did that make sense..cause i dont think so, lol..

I am very interested to hear the differences as well as I would like to update the spindles on my 05.

Thanks

The 2005 spindles have a different length of Tie rod.... you can run all the above spinles on an 05 with a bit of adjustment.

The 05's are not worth running on any of the sleds...

Ok that makes sense....I mis-read the statement by MH. Thanks. Yeah was going to do the holz upgrade to the spindles.
