Is the problem with the new seals the depth of the metal ring, or the shape
of the seal rubber? If the former, installing it proud should make no
difference. If the latter, would a thin spacer behind the spindle correct
any issue with the torque box?
Given that this spindle was used on two or three bazillion front ends, is
there a solution (besides lining up the aftermarket executives in front of
a firing squad) in the wider market?
