Question:
For a single axle application, does this spindle have any toe-in angle in relation to the backing plate and is the orientation marked?

Hey Michael, when installing new spindles like the # TRU27FR you really need to have jigs designed for the application otherwise it's impossible to get the angle just right. Typically we recommend finding a local welder with experience welding spindles to trailer axles and let them get you situated. Is there someone near you that you could call?
