pfrederi 18,667 #1 Posted July 25, 2015 When did WH change fro using 1/4" steel to 5/16" for the plates welded to the spindles that the tie rods mount to? I am amazed at how many of teh Horses I have purchase or work on have teh plates bent significantly...Got to wonder what people do to them. I guess at some point WH must have noted and increased he thickness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
