Replace it. The are lots of those out there unless its an early one. What year is your car/axle?

Is this for your 1910? If so, it has later spindles on it. If they're early ones (1911-1917), they may be worth fixing. I haven't shopped for those, so I don't know how plentiful they are. Later spindles (1918-1925) are a dime a dozen. Check the encyclopedia to see what you have, and go from there. I mean the CD version, which is much more extensive than the one online. After the Ford shop manual and the MTFCA "how to" books, it's the best fifty bucks a T guy can spend.

It's for my 1926 coupe.

Austin -- The spindle arms have replaceable bushings which are cheap and not too difficult to handle. If the bushing is worn completely through and the arm itself is worn too, then I'd recommend replacing the arm. They are plentiful. If you need one, post it here and someone probably will offer to give you one.

Its the spindle that has the worn hole for arm.

Mike Peterson has 26-27 spindles on Ebay right now. These include the arms. His ID is Gunman 63.

I have another set of spindles but they are the wrong ones. The 1926 coupe ones are where the spindle shaft is in the middle and the wrong ones are where the spindle shaft is offset toward bottom.

Just backwards there, Austin. '26-'27 spindle bodies have the lowered profile and '25 and earlier are the ones on center.

Austin, you may have a 25 titled as a 26, if sold late in the year. The thing to check is the spindle in the middle or at the offset to the top of the spindle. The arm can be replaced with out taking the spindle off.
