Brings up a good question...How many of you have had parts x-rayed for 
crack/flaw testing? Where did you did someone to do it? Were they local 
or did you have to send the bits out? What was the experience like? I 
have a few front spindles I need checked (non TR application) and new 
ones are not available (at all).

Thanks!
Bob
