Anyone got any idea how much the testing will cost per spindle? Mines have only done just over 1600 grrrr. Mind you wouldn't like to be up when it parted company!
I picked mine up yesterday. All passed. Just under 1800 hours on them. One mechanic I talked to said he had 9 tested and it ended up costing him $25 each. The place I took mine to decided to rip me off when I told them it was a rush job, and they charged me $1,000. After some complaining by me they agreed to drop it to $435. That was the cost for the job... all 3 spindles. I was *going* to drop off another set to that company to be tested, but told them after the price they charged me, I'd send the other set elsewhere. Perhaps to the factory but I didn't want to wait for the backlog.
