Axle Spindle

[Murphy]

I was repacking the bearings Saturday on a 5.0TA and the first wheel had a spindle that looked like the attached photo. Does this look normal compared to other spindles?

Thanks.

Murphy,
The spindle looks scored to me. I guessing that you spun a bearing.

It's a sloppy machining job by the manufacture.
The seal dia. and both the bearing dia's look fair to good.
That center part is a space for grease.
But the pick is a bit fuzzy.

As a retired mechanic of 38 years I agree.

Thanks for the input.
